Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	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 ride out to Shrivenham, depending upon numbers, we will have coffee at either the Farm Shop or Bloomfields.
Riders: Angie Fisher Barry Stanton David Bridge Des Higgs James Bosley John Tranter Katherine Boyce Louise Bowers Patrick O'Leary Peter Dalgliesh Rob Godfrey Roger Postbeschild Terry Ryland Riders = 13 Weather: Report: A chilly start caused me to scope out the Denchworth Road for ice - it was slushy but rideable with care. I had booked wall-to-wall sunshine, and duly obliged! Thirteen riders, including Rob, joining for his first 2 star. The group was split, with JT taking the second lead and Des, back from injury, taking the sweep. The 'garden' out the back of Bloomfield's was something of a sun trap, and we enjoyed coffees and cakes/pastries outside. Many thanks to Des and Louise for shepherding duties. A few of us partook of additional coffee at Costa on our return to Grove.
Distance: 46.10 km (28.65 mi)
