Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

Leader: Lorna Swanton	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
Description: Please book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Easy sociable ride of 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a pace of 14-17km/h (9-11 mph). To Ardington via Icknield Greenway and Ginge.
Riders: John Stamp Kevin Hazell Lorna Swanton Sarah Macaulay Steve Swanton Riders = 5 Weather: Report: In a slight deviation from the planned route, Steve led us on an exploration of cycle paths through Kingsgrove on the way to Lockinge, where we picked up the Icknield Greenway to Ardington, through the village and over the 'bridge of lesser doom' before leaving it to rejoin the road. Sarah had to get back early and doubled back before the bridge, leaving four of us to continue on the road up to Ginge and along to Betterton, enjoying the wide-open views in the spring sunshine before descending to Ardington again, this time stopping at the ever-welcoming Grocer Chef. Return to Grove via Lains Barn, with the stiff breeze behind us - the right way round to do a ride. Thanks, everyone, for your company.
