| Tuesday Evening 3* Ride | 3* |

Leader:Bryan Charleston |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:If enough people are keen we will be doing the 3* three peaks challenge. We will have to leave promptly and keep the pace up to return at a sensible time. The route should allow a short cut back to OMH if we run out of time. |

Riders:Bryan CharlestonDes Higgs Frank Schroer Janet Charleston John Talbot Sorrel Williams Tony Smith Riders = 7 Report:A wonderful evening, warm and still, that seemed to go according to plan. We started on time and made brisk progress through the Letcombes and up hackpen hill. A long descent to the outskirts of Lambourn followed by a steady climb up to the top of blowing stone hill, with the resulting steep descent. A short ride to White Horse hill for a climb and brief rest to admire the view. Everyone seemed to be coping easily with the ride and the trip home across the flat was covered very quickly. We were back in daylight before 8.30, taking just 1 hour 47 minutes, a moving average of 15.5 mph.Sorrel is now planning a four peak challenge. We were fortunate to have two guests join us for the evening, Roger and Kevin, let's hope they ride with us again | ||

Great ride! I had reservations about tackling Dragon Hill on my road bike beforehand, but like most cycling the fear of what lies ahead is always worse than the actuality! Great speedy whizz back to Grove through the Vale after the hills were done :) |
