Tuesday Evening 2* Pub Ride	2*

Leader: Jan McCabe	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 1.5-2 hour ride at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph) Village explorer Pub Night! Please arrive by 6.20pm for the ride leader's briefing and a prompt start to the ride. We are not always able to wait beyond the start time. A flat ride out to have a look at Buckland village, and back via either Pusey or Lyford (I will check out the road/bridleway through Pusey before Tuesday, my recollection is it is all very rideable on road bike except for maybe 200m where we might prefer to walk whilst admiring the view), if it isn't a good option for road bike, we will miss Pusey and instead add a bit on through Lyford to get the same distance. Led ride will finish at the Fox in Denchworth, for those wanting refreshment at the end of the ride.
Riders: Angie Fisher Chris Marchant Des Higgs Huw Palmer Jan McCabe LeeAnn Norris Paul Kyberd Roger Postbeschild Riders = 8 Weather: Report: 9* of us enjoyed pleasant evening weather for a flat ride around the Vale Villages, out via Denchworth, Goosey, Stanford and Gainfield to Buckland, where we did a circuit of the village to admire some of the lovely buildings you don't see on the normal route through, we discussed options for the route back, and decided rather than take the path bridleway through Pusey we would stick to the tarmac, so returned retracing our tracks to gainfield, then via Charney Basset and Lyford, before returning to Denchworth, where several (including me) stoped to enjoy traditional last Tuesday of the month post ride refreshment Jan * the 8 riders listed, and Bernie, who isn't currently on our rider list
