Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

Leader: Lorna Swanton	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
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). A ride out to the Letcombes, pausing for coffee in Childrey and returning to Grove via Goosey. One steep hill, which we'll take at a gentle pace.
Riders: Andy Belcher Geoff Neill John Stamp Lorna Swanton Patrick O'Leary Sarah Macaulay Steve Swanton Riders = 7 Weather: Report: A lovely morning for a ride. Following the Mary Green path and Wayland Road we went up to Brereton Drive, through to the new cycle path along Denchworth Road into Wantage, then Ham Road and up Ickleton Road to the Letcombe turn. Admiring the view over to the Ridgeway, we coasted down to Letcombe Regis for a short pause by the church, then made our way up past the cress beds, through Letcombe Bassett and regrouped at the top of Holborn Hill. Judging by the smiles, no-one had much difficulty getting up there. Descending to Childrey, we parted company, with John and Andy returning to Grove and the rest of us going on to coffee at Cantorist Farm. After a very pleasant break and chat there we left Sarah in Childrey and returned to Grove via Goosey and Denchworth. Thanks everyone, for your company.
