Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

Leader: Tim Hoyle	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: An easy ride to Stanford coffee shop on well wheeled roads that we have travelled many times before. An uncomplicated route for my first ride as a 1* leader. Ascent 397ft. gradient less than3% 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).
Riders: John Leggott John Stamp John Tranter Lorna Swanton Steve Swanton Tim Hoyle Riders = 6 Report: The weather wasn't being forcast to be very kind with gusty moderate wind, and rain on the high side but we went ahead and , as is often the case we all had a lovely ride. We arrived at Stanford just before the 2* group, they having taken a longer route, so got the last available soft sofas. The hint of rain leaving Stanford didn't materialise with plenty of warming sun and, at times, the breeze helping us along home. John T, having a meeting to attend, left seperately after a quick coffee. The remainder arriving back at OMH for 1pm after 20.5 miles. An exhilarating flattish ride, observing the emergence of Spring , but perhaps a little long.
