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 ride out to Faringdon for coffee, as we haven't been there for a while. Probably out via Littleworth (involving a short stretch of A420) and return via Fernham.
Riders: Angie Fisher David Bridge Des Higgs John Groves Louise Bowers Patrick O'Leary Peter Dalgliesh Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Terry Ryland Riders = 12 Report: A very good ride with good company. What a glorious day, but the breeze was very chilly. Headwind out, tailwind home (perfect). The roads were not too bad as long as you avoided the standing water (potholes below). The ride was a bit longer this week to make the most of the weather and also to try out the new crossing of the A420 at Fernham Road. Everyone agreed they had made a brilliant job of it. Thanks to one and all for making it a very good ride.
Distance: 45.00 km (27.96 mi)
