Breezing to The Chocolate Shop, approx 12 mph

Approx 31 miles at about 12 mph. The ride will take us through Wheathampstead, Codicote, Knebworth & Datchworth before stopping at the cafe at The Chocolate Shop in Woolmer Green (which is about half way through the route). And not to worry if you've had your fill of chocolate over Easter, the cafe offers non-chocolately treats too. We’ll then return to St Albans via Codicote & Kimpton. The route is mostly on quiet roads & lanes.

Meet at 9.30am outside the Marshalswick Community Centre at The Quadrant. There is a small public car park between the Community Centre and M&S with free parking, and plenty of residential street parking nearby. However, please don't park in the main Quadrant car park or the streets immediately outside the shops as parking there is restricted to 3 hours. There are public toilets next to the Community Centre.

Helmets are compulsory on this ride. Please bring water & snacks to drink & munch on route, money for the cafe stop & equipment to deal with any punctures. Please ensure your bike is in good working order and you have an emergency back up or taxi number to call in case of mechanical issues that we can't fix.

First-timers welcome!
