Tuesday 2* Evening Ride 2*
Leader:
John Tranter
Start Time:

Description:
Continuing the early season theme, this ride will be flat and fairly short. Out through Denchworth to West Hanney, then Lyford and Charney Bassett, down to Stanford in the Vale, finishing with the nice quiet Park Lane cut through back to Denchworth and home. A distance of 17 miles / 27km at a steady speed of around 12mph / 19kph. This should bring us back to Grove by 8pm at just about sunset. Lights essential!

Weather:
sunnywindy (fine)
Report:
Another beautiful spring evening, and we set off with high hopes of a puncture free evening - not to be! John C unfortunately suffered a pinch puncture from a pothole just after Denchworth so that makes it 2 out 2 for puncture-hit 2* Tuesdays. Hopefully this is not a trend! John decided to go with the "phone a friend" solution and we carried on into the Vale.

The group stayed together very well, even with a stiff headwind in places, and all went well. We were rewarded towards the end with a really lovely sunset.

Thanks to all for a great ride.
Distance:
