Shortie ride to Boxford

Leader: Joy Arthur	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: The Beacon, Wantage
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Apologies to anyone expecting an all day Saturday Special, this is the exact opposite: a Shortie. It’s quite long for a shortie with plenty of climbing so you might want to bring a snack.
Riders: Barry Stanton Chris Bailey Chris Gray John Tranter Joy Arthur Paul Wensley Riders = 6 Weather: Report: A beautiful sunny morning provided ideal conditions for a lovely ride. We made good progress on all the ups and enjoyed ourselves on all the downs ending with the best descent of Chain Hill. 4 of us went for coffee at Marmalade afterwards. Very easy group to lead, fun ride!
Distance: 49.50 km (30.76 mi)
