Daytime 2* Thursday Ride - Stanford 40k	2*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	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). Stanford Coffee Shop with some twiddly bits to make it up to 40km.
Riders: Angie Fisher Barry Stanton Brian Mortimer Chris Marchant David Bridge Des Higgs John Groves Martin Purling Patrick O'Leary Paul Wensley Roger Postbeschild Terry Ryland Riders = 12 Weather: Report: Well, having returned from a bout of lurgy, I managed to keep up my sunshine record. This was a case of extracting a 40km ride from a limited patch of map. Thanks to Des for leading group 2 (who took a diversion down the bridleway between Longworth and Hinton Waldrist) and to David for sweeping. Various levels of refreshment were enjoyed at Stanford, up to and including one full English. Angie left the ride at coffee to get to an appointment, as did Des, who had ridden out from home.
Distance: 40.00 km (24.85 mi)
