Sunday Shortie	3*

Leader: Jo Little	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: Beacon
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. A 2 Hour ride (24-40km / 15-25 miles), riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely. A change to the original route as it seems safest to keep to high ground to avoid the flooding. Up Chain hill, a loop around the downs and then down Manor Road, so quite a lot of climbing - I'll hope to have more energy for it this week!
Riders: Jo Little Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Riders = 3 Weather: Report: It was cold but dry so we decided to give it a go. The road conditions were great except for Manor Road and the views over the downs were as good as always. A bit of a headwind on the way back so thanks to Roger who took the lead then. Thanks to both for being great to cycle with.
Distance: 30.58 km (19.00 mi)
