Tuesday Evening Rides

Leader: Edith Hipwell	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: The popular Tuesday Evening Rides are back. We will aim to have two rides leaders for leisurely and slighlty quicker options. Lights are recommended until mid-May.
Riders: Brian Hipwell Chris Lea Chris Walters Dai Williams David Bridge Edith Hipwell Henk Altmann (deceased) Jo Bindloss-Gibb Joseph Kingbury Kevin Fairs Lee Wright Neil Warner Peter Busby Phil Morris Philip Thornton-Evison Sorrel Williams Steve Joyce Wenfeng Yang Riders = 18 Report: Moderate ride out through Lains Barn to Ginge, West Hendred, Steventon, the Hanneys, Denchworth and finally back to Grove. A moderate pace throughout (well done everyone for sticking on, especially Lee) and a couple of spirited efforts - Neil flew across Cow Common (the turbo sessions seem to have worked!) and we had a bit of a charge for a few yards to the 30mph sign in Grove. 31km in 1:34 for an average speed of nearly 20km/h. A great start to the season, and well done everyone! The easy rider went back to our roots we managed a 10 mile ride around the Vale at an average speed of 10 miles an hour. We started well but as we turned into the wind young Joseph found it hard going and it became quite cold. However it was nice to be back out on our bikes in the evening sunshine.
