Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Katherine Boyce	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. Thought we'd pop out to Faringdon tonight, taking the lumpier route out and the flat one back. Plenty of warm up for the Denchworth Dash!
Riders: Adrian West Barry Farquhar Bryan Charleston Chris Walters Dave Martin David Smith David Talboys Janet Charleston Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Louis Hall Mark Austin Nicole Pethybridge Peter Greenfield Richard Preece Ursula Hallam Riders = 17 Weather: Report: We were way behind the other groups leaving, wanted to give Nicole a fighting chance of catching up after she'd sorted a puncture. Has to be a record, getting a puncture before the briefing . We then took up the challenge of finding the 2* group, accomplished just beyond Windmill Hill. A slight pause for a chain replacement before sweeping through Kingston Lisle and on to Faringdon. We picked up Nicole before the group started to gather for the Denchworth dash. And what an epic dash it was. Those giving it a miss could only look on in awe as the group looked record breaking. All within the bounds of a 3* ride of course! Thanks to Louis for ensuring no one was lost. Great group to ride with.
