Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Des Higgs	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable ride of 24-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18-20km/h (11-13 mph). A longer ride is planned to eventually reach coffee at Stanford. If rain does materialise, there will be options to shorten.
Riders: Angie Fisher Barry Stanton Chris Marchant Des Higgs John Groves Louise Bowers Patrick O'Leary Richard Kidd Steve Swanton Terry Ryland Riders = 10 Report: Not a bad day for a bike ride, although the wind was a bit gusty in places. We set off to Denchworth, A417, Childrey, Westcot, Kingston Lisle, Fawler, Baulking and along A417 to Stanford for a lovely cup of coffee. Return via Gainfield, Charney and Denchworth. A very easy ride to lead with no problems at all. Thanks to all for excellent company.
