Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
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). This week we are visiting the Harwell Campus Cafe, meeting up with the one star group. The route includes the Icknield Greenway, not as bad as it was but a less than perfect surface.
Riders: David Bridge Des Higgs John Groves John Salmon Malcolm Heavens Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Riders = 8 Weather: Report: Nine riders set off but Steve S opted to take the 1 star option shortly after the start as his knee was playing up. We did a loop round to Charney, down to Hanney and across 'The Prairie' to Steventon. Harwell village and The Winnaway completed the route to DiSH on Harwell Campus - a new one for yours truly. A return via the Icknield Greenway and a final pop up to the A417 and down via Lains Barn. Lovely weather and a great group.
Distance: 38.00 km (23.61 mi)
