Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

Leader: John Stamp	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). Note this ride starts at OMH but finishes at the Bay Tree Café Wantage. It is a short ride (8.4 miles) but with a few ‘inclines’ to provide some exercise! In detail, leave Grove heading for Wantage, left at Lidl, a detour through Kingsgrove, and onto the Parkinson Community Garden in West Lockinge. Then onto East Lockinge and the ‘hard’ left hand bend for the descent into Ardington; optional coffee stop here. Return to Wantage via Route 544 & the back roads to Bay Tree café for the other optional coffee stop.
Riders: John Leggott John Stamp Patrick O'Leary Penny Hasler Rob Godfrey Riders = 5 Weather: Report: An enjoyable ride with two stops:- Parkinson Garden @ East Lockage (very peaceful setting, nice seating area and walkways through plants and vegetable.) A coffee stop plus natter @ The Grocer Chef Ardington. With stops average speed 6ml/hr.
