Tuesday Evening 1* Ride & Pub Night	1*

Leader: Carin Tranter	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
Description: A longer ride to Southmoor out via Lyford returning via Charney Bassett (14 miles). There will be optional stop at the Fox in Denchworth towards the end of the ride. I will be staying at the pub, so riders will need to find their own way back to Grove after the ride stops in Denchworth. The ride may also be a little shorter if the temperature is very hot 😊 Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday evening 1* rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of 10-15 miles (16-24km) at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph (13-16kph), following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. Please arrive by 6.20pm for the ride leader's briefing and a prompt start to the ride. We are not always able to wait beyond the start time.
Riders: Adrian Herbert Anke Otto Carin Tranter Steve Boreham Val Smith Riders = 5 Weather: Report: A very hot evening for the 5 riders but the breeze did cool us down if we kept going! The ride was slightly shorter than advertised, we cut across at the Sheep House Farm road to Charney rather than going all the way up to Southmoor. We returned to Denchworth via Asti Stud where myself, Anke and Steve stopped at the pub. Val and Adrian returned to Grove together.
