This ride has become a Wednesday favorite and the basis for a few variations. This version starts from the Old Boxford Library on Route 133 and makes a large loop through Boxford, Topsfield, Ipswich, Rowley, Groveland and Georgetown before returning to Boxford. Most of the route is on quiet, shaded country roads although it gets busier for a few miles in and around Ipswich. There are a few significant climbs but overall, it's a relatively easy route. The ride through Bradley Palmer State Park is especially relaxing and makes a good rest stop to take advantage of the port-a-potties. Lunch will be at the West Village Cafe which is right down the street from the starting point and is owned by a club member.
