| Tuesday Evening 2* Ride | 2* |

Leader:Jan McCabe |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. The past couple of 2*rides have been flat, so I thought I'd some gentle hills this time, which will be taken at a gentle pace, with plenty of rests to regroup and get our breath!Flat initially and then climbing up through Sparsholt to Sparshot firs, before returning via the Letcombes At only 26k (16 miles) it is shorter than the typical 2*, but will be good to tak our time and admire the views from the hills |

Riders:Brian HipwellDes Higgs Douglas Gunn Jan McCabe John Hibberd Kirsty Gunn Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Paul Bentley Phillip Folkes Steve Swanton Val Smith Riders = 12 Weather: Report:A lovely sunny evening, and a bit of a breeze meant it wasn’t too hot for our ride.There were 12 of us including new rider Paul, always great to see new people coming along. First part of ride was flat out through Denchworth, then a short stretch of A417 before we started out gentle warm up climb to Sparsholt, as we crossed the B road it was possible to see how the road snakes up the hill side towards the radio mast at the top. Climb was gentle at first, then got steeper as we ascended through the trees where it was shady. Everyone managed the climb without any issues, at last I assume they did as I’d postered along at the back on that stretch and everyone seemed recovered and admiring the views by the time I got to the top  we then enjoyed the descent down hackpen hill before undulating through the Letcombes and returning to grove around 8:15 | ||
