Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Horses and Dragons... tonight we'll be doing the annual 2* pilgrimage up White Horse Hill. Warming up on the undulations of the Spring Line, we'll storm the hill before returning victorious via Uffington, Kingston Lisle, Baulking and Goosey.
Riders: Andy Belcher Charlotte Styles Chris Walters Des Higgs John Stamp Karen Townsin Mark Austin Nick Dunton Steve Joyce Riders = 9 Weather: Report: Really great group out tonight. It was a very mellow affair, stopping along the way to regroup at the top of the hills. White Horse Hill was being a bit of a devil this evening as it decided to blow in our faces right at the very steepest part. Most people managed to tame it though, and all enjoyed the fantastic views from the top, including watching a USAF B2 Stealth Bomber take off from RAF Fairford, way in the distance. No other dramas to note, we meandered back through the Vale to Denchworth, making this a long ride!
Distance: 36.80 km (22.87 mi)	Ride Details: http://www.strava.com/activities/151984935
