Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Des Higgs	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable ride of 24-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18-20km/h (11-13 mph). A longer ride today, down Littleworth hill to Blake's at Clanfield, returning up Buckland hill.
Riders: Barry Stanton David Bridge Des Higgs John Groves John Salmon John Tranter Malcolm Heavens Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Riders = 9 Weather: Report: Nine riders set off at a brisk pace as the temperature was definitely wintry. A very easy ride to lead, with no mechanicals or incidents, so we arrived at Blakes in good time and were well looked after with coffee and snacks. Sitting outside was still a bit chilly so we didn't stay too long as it was filling up with other cyclists - strange how it used to be all motorbikers, but it has turned to all cyclists! Everyone negotiated the only climb of the day (Buckland Hill) and we were soon back to base where a few of us forced down another coffee. Thanks to everyone for being a wonderful group to lead.
Distance: 47.00 km (29.20 mi)
