Daytime Thursday 1* Ride to Stanford	1*

Leader: Lorna Swanton	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: A flat ride in the Vale, out via Denchworth, Charney Bassett and Gainfield to Stanford for coffee, back via Park Lane. Please let the ride leader know if you are planning to come. Easy sociable ride of 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a pace of 14-17km/h (9-11 mph).
Riders: Andy Belcher Anke Otto John Leggott Lindsey Barker Lorna Swanton Rob Godfrey Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Tim Hoyle Vicky Hoyle Riders = 10 Weather: Report: The mild weather brought ten of us out to enjoy autumn colours in the Vale. Not much sun , but only a few drops of rain, and hardly any wind - great conditions! And a sociable stop in the ever-welcoming Stanford Coffee Shop. Tim and Vicky avoided the Hanney road closure by joining the ride in Charney Bassett and leaving in Denchworth, then sent the news that the road was about to open again and that they'd been allowed to cycle along it. At last! It was great to welcome John L, and to see Lindsey out on a ride again. Thanks, everyone, for your company.
