Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Des Higgs	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). A 45km ride out to Lush Looking Coffee & Cakes at Watchfield. As flat as they come!
Riders: Angie Fisher Barry Stanton Chris Marchant Des Higgs John Groves Katherine Boyce Louise Bowers Nick Portsmouth Patrick O'Leary Paul Bentley Paul Smith Roger Postbeschild Steve Swanton Terry Ryland Riders = 14 Weather: Report: Des split us in 2 groups, Katherine leading the second group. Puncture in Uffington paused the second half of the ride. Fab new (to me) coffee stop at Shrivenham Business Park (Lush Cakes). Second puncture at the Watchfield roundabout. At which point some had to get back but those that didn’t assisted with the puncture. Believe the first group had an uneventful ride!
Distance: 52.94 km (32.90 mi)	Ride Details: https://www.strava.com/activities/12449939442
