Starting point

AL1 2DL

Westminster Lodge Swimming Pool cycle stands, off Holywell Hill, St Albans. Be warned, there is a charge for car parking in the Leisure Centre car parks.

First off, the ride starts in St Albans, not North Hertfordshire! There is a computer glitch in the British Cycling ride leaders' website. The ride is a loop to the north east of St Albans. We will go over Nomansland and cross the Lea, ride round by Ayot St Lawrence and drop into Wheatampstead for coffee. Then back to St Albans by a fairly direct route. I have short cuts if the weather is unfavourable. The terrain is 'rolling' ie hilly. So a good ride for fitness. If it is dry enough I will make use of various unsurfaced tracks, so although you should be OK on a road bike, it should be one with thicker tyres. 25mm or up.

Who else is on this ride?
