Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride	2*

Leader: Robin Tucker	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know. Dark, cold and wet - we'll ride in any 2. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride.
Riders: John Davies Richard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Riders = 3 Weather: Report: Actually a ride with no Davids on it - maybe DB and DY were still recovering from our Saturday 88 mile Ridgeway epic? The ground was a bit wet from earlier rain, and dark clouds threatened, but nothing was actually falling, so off we went via a slightly slippery Crab Hill, Lark Hill and then up Jolly Green Giant to get to the Ridgeway in the straightest possible line. Then it was another straight line west along the Ridgeway. Gradually the threatening clouds passed over and we had a pleasant view and ride across the downs. Reaching Sparsholt field, we turned right, enjoyed the blast down hill and then picked up the mostly road route through to the pub.
Distance: 30.58 km (19.00 mi)
