From the edges of St Albans, this ride takes you straight out into magical views from the Wheatfields of Hertfordshire. Through wooded glades, we will visit Harpenden Common, Heartwood Forest and Nomansland - and don't miss Childwickbury Hall, family home of the late film director Stanley Kubrick. A short but slightly challenging ride that is suitable for mountain bikes, cross bikes or sturdy hybrids that's one for the thrill-seekers amongst you.
