Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Des Higgs	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
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). Ride to Blakes cafe in Clanfield
Riders: Angie Fisher Barry Stanton David Bridge Des Higgs Louise Bowers Patrick O'Leary Pauline Clark Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Terry Ryland Riders = 10 Report: A very easy ride to lead with no problems. The weather was warm and sunny with a little light breeze so ideal conditions for cycling. Blakes was very busy as usual, but we all got served quickly so no complaints. I kept up a reasonable pace at the front so as to create my own added breeze and everyone kept quite a close formation with gaps left for cars as necessary. The only problem was crossing 'Death's Highway' (A420) which too quite a while. A good ride with good company and excellent coffee.
Distance: 48.00 km (29.83 mi)
