3* Sunday Shortie	3*

Leader: Jo Little	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: The Beacon
Description: Please register with ride leader. A loop out through the villages, ending with heading up Sparsholt Firs and then down Hackpen. 28 miles
Riders: Jo Little Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Sharon Bedford Riders = 4 Weather: Report: A strong headwind (again) led to me shortening the route a bit by cutting out the hill up to Sparsholt Firs. Otherwise, a good ride with good company. Lovely to see so many cowslips and bluebells around.
Distance: 41.84 km (26.00 mi)
