Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

Leader: John Tranter	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Easy sociable ride of 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a pace of 14-17km/h (9-11 mph). An easy loop around the Vale - out to Denchworth and Lyford, across to Charney Bassett and then to Stanford in the Vale for refreshments at the very lovely Stanford Coffee Shop. Back via Park Lane and Denchworth. A leisurely 15 miles / 24km (and no hills)
Riders: John Leggott John Tranter Julie Haynes Mila Yearley Rob Godfrey Steve Swanton Tim Hoyle Tim Waite Riders = 8 Weather: Report: Another glorious spring day, albeit still with a chilly breeze. It was really nice to be out on familiar roads around the Vale with a lovely group. We were fortunate to arrive at Stanford Cafe literally seconds ahead of a large group of Newbury cyclists, followed by another group shortly afterwards. Clearly the weather was working its magic! Thanks to all for a great ride.
Distance: 24.14 km (15.00 mi)
