Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

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.

Riders: Carin Tranter David Bridge Des Higgs Karl Blake Lorna Swanton Martyn Wigmore Mavis Rose Patrick O'Leary Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Susan Holdroyd Riders = 11 Report: As we made our way to Old Mill Hall for the start of our ride the heavens opened, and to be honest I thought I might have to return home and tackle some of those dull jobs which I had been saving for a rainy day... but NO there were 11 riders all game for a laugh and keen to get out and enjoy the fresh air! ( perhaps they had even worse jobs waiting for them!!) It was great to welcome Mavis who had not been out for sometime. Very quickly the rain eased and we had a very pleasant ride out to Faringdon via Baulking and Fernham. A welcome Latte at the coffee shop in the square and a pain au raisin to die for... Thanks Des for sparing my blushes as I had left my phone and money at home. The ride back was through Gainsford and Charney and all went smoothly until Martyn had a flat.. he opted to ride and pump his way back to Wantage, accompanied by Susan. Thanks to all who turned out despite the weather... until next week.
Distance: 37.01 km (23.00 mi)
