Daytime 1* Ride Series	1*

Leader: Lorna Swanton	Start Time: 10:30 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Social rides up to 24km (15 miles), usually with a cafe stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Please check website on the morning of the ride if the weather is poor as it may be cancelled or the start time changed. A re-run of one of my favourite routes (since no food is available before midday at the intended stop of the Blowingstone Inn): Out through Wantage and the Letcombes, up Holborn Hill, down to Childrey for coffee; back via Goosey and Denchworth. About 15 miles in total.
Riders: Carin Tranter David Bridge Des Higgs Diana Whidborne John Groves Karl Blake Lorna Swanton Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Terry Penn Riders = 10 Report: Another clear, bright morning after an unpromising start, and a fine view from the downs above Letcombe and Childrey. A couple of people had to get back early and took the track back from Childrey; the rest of us enjoyed coffee there before completing the ride.
Distance: 22.53 km (14.00 mi)
