This week we will be starting at Ipswich RIver Park in North Reading, riding through lovely quiet roads in North Reading, Middleton, Boxford, and Topsfield.  

Two route options are provided: a 32 mile route and a 40 mile route. At mile 23.7 on the long route is the Boxford police station. 

Our post-ride lunch will be at Ryers Store.  Alternatively, if the weather is nice enough, we can picnic at the park - either bring your lunch or stop at Ryers Store on the way back and get your lunch for the picnic.
