10 Mile Club 1*	1*

Leader: John Stamp	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: A hillier ride this week will take us to the Letcombes, returning via Childrey, the bridleway to West Challow and Denchworth, a round trip of about 12 miles. These rides are designed to be a leisurely and sociable introduction to group riding and to build rider confidence. As the name suggests, we aim to cover about 10 miles at a speed of about 10 miles per hour, stopping to rest and look at interesting things on the way. Accompanied children and newcomers very welcome.
Riders: Bethany Tranter Carin Tranter John Hogston John Stamp Lorna Swanton Matthew Quartermain Sara Smith Stephen Quartermain Steve Burr Steve Swanton Val Smith Riders = 11 Report: A glorious sunny evening made all the better by so many new 1 star riders tackling the 1 star ‘top of the range’ ride. Of course once you have gone up the hills at Letcombe one can enjoy coming down them, and some of us coasted into Childrey close to the speed limit, 3 star riders take note! One enforced stop to attend to a puncture and concern for Sarah who didn’t find swallowing a midge a good experience! Good views along most of the route. A little late getting back.
Distance: 19.31 km (12.00 mi)
