Tuesday Evening 2* Ride - Hackpen Hill	2*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
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) Hackpen, Sparsholt. I am pleased to confirm that, having been severely tested by one of Sharon's notoriously hilly rides yesterday, my foot is up to the task this evening.
Riders: David Jackson Paul Wensley Roger Postbeschild Riders = 3 Weather: Report: A very quiet evening - a lot of people appear to have gone away for the bank holiday break. With 3 riders, all e-assisted, this will probably be the fastest ascent of Hackpen Hill on a 2 star ride...an average of 22kph for the circuit.
Distance: 28.00 km (17.40 mi)
