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). Coffee at Cantorist Farm, route TBA.
Riders: Chris Marchant Des Higgs Geoff Neill John Salmon John Tranter Martin Hook Roger Turnbull Terry Ryland Riders = 8 Weather: Report: As we set off the weather didn't look too good but fortunately the rain never really came to anything. We went the usual way via Denchworth, Goosey and Baulking with a slight detour around Uffington Station, back through Uffington and up the climb of the day, Fawler Hill - well done for negotiating it so well, especially Geoff who had stepped up from 1*. Onwards towards coffee at the Cantorist via Sparsholt. At coffee Terry left early for a prior engagement and Geoff set for a shorter route home. The rest of us rode back via the A417 to Circourt Road, Denchworth and home. A very enjoyable ride with excellent company, no rain or mechanical issues.
Distance: 37.01 km (23.00 mi)
