Enjoy this great exploratory 28 mile ride. This is a wonderful opportunity to discover the lost railway routes linking St. Albans to Hatfield & Welwyn Garden City, then to Wheathampstead and Harpenden and out towards Redbourn. There are some sections of hard packed gravel as well as tarmac so you might not want to bring your racing bike; a hybrid is perfect.
