10-mile club 1*	1*

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: This will be our last 10-mile club ride of the season, so tonight a chance to repeat one of the highlights of our rides this summer - the track from West Hanney across to Denchworth. First though we'll head out to Charney Bassett via Denchworth. After a stop on the green, we'll continue on to West Hanney by way of the Ock bridge. Total distance will be about 12 miles with 2 miles of off-road.
Riders: Henk Altmann (deceased) Matthew Quartermain Richard Divall Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Riders = 5 Report: All was going well until we joined the off-road track... Since we'd ridden it about 6 weeks before, substantial sections had been covered with hard-core. While some of this had been broken up, some of it remained as large lumps and what had been a delightful track to cycle had become something of an obstacle course. Apologies to all for the discomfort. Somehow Steve managed to cycle the whole thing with Matthew on his child seat (perhaps it was easier than pushing!). Nevertheless it was an enjoyable ride and thanks to all for your amiable company. Steve
Distance: 19.31 km (12.00 mi)
