Daytime 1* Thursday Ride 1*
Leader:
Diana Whidborne
Start Time:
10:30 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Social rides up to half day - 32km (20 miles), usually with a cafe stop, at a riding pace of 16-20km/h (10-12mph). Please check website on the morning of the ride if the weather is poor as it may be cancelled or the start time changed.
I plan to head to Kingston Bagpuize coffee at Millets.
My thought is to go Denchworth Charney Bassett taking a left turn to Kingston Bagpuize this will cut out Southmoor, the return from Millets is through Fyfield Wick and a left turn to Hanney and home.
Lizzie has ridden this route recently and found a track between the Charney Road and the Hanney Road that goes through Newhouse Farm Buildings it could be a short cut?
I will check this out with Des and Roger as i think they have knowledge of that area.
Riders:
Barry Eggby

Report:
After the over night rain we had a lovely sunny ride out to Millets.
When planning this route I had hoped Eve would join us and she did, also Barry from the same area, a good distance to travel before starting the ride always nice to see you both.
A quiet ride through the villages apart from a few over head displays from the Red Arrows and other planes practising for the weekend airshow.
After coffee we left Eve and returned to Grove via Hanney.
I hoped i didn't rush too much but I was aware that a couple of people wanted to get back to go on to Bill Flockton Funeral.
Distance:
28.97 km (18.00 mi)
