Daytime 2* Thursday Ride to Shrivenham	2*

Leader: Des Higgs	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
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). Shrivenham for coffee, probably Bloomfields, route to be advised on the morning.
Riders: Anke Otto David Bridge Des Higgs Geoff Neill Martin Purling Peter Dalgliesh Richard Kidd Roger Postbeschild Riders = 8 Weather: Report: Well, the plan was to go to Shrivenham. The south westerly wind however was gusting well into the 40's and it was deemed to be safer and altogether more sensible to do a short ride to Stanford Coffee Shop. We arrived via Park Lane and returned via Gainfield. The blustery conditions were challenging, but enjoyable for this short ride. No mechanicals, and all returned safely.
Distance: 23.00 km (14.29 mi)
