The ride will start and finish in Hertford from the two mainline train stations. For those that are travelling by car I can point you in the direction of free parking.
People driving should meet me at Hertford East station from 9:15 and I will give you directions to free parking which is only a couple of hundred yards from the station. We will wait for the 09:31 train to arrive then make our way across town to the North station to meet the 09:38 train. Those using the North station may have to hang around while we get across to you. As for Aperitif, Daveywalnuts, User3143 and any other mad people who plan on riding over to meet us, I would suggest the East station as more space and less Taxi action.
From the North station we will head out of town around 10:00 on to the country roads, Saturdays have more traffic than Sundays but by no means are they busy. The planned fuel stop will be Vanstones Garden Centre where we will more than likely see loads of other cyclists (mostly of the racing snake variety), it is a very popular cake stop. I will check to see what food will be available but have copied this from the website
So would imagine all sorts of food available on the day as long as we get there before 3pm when they stop hot food. If not we have plenty of pubs in this area.

- count me in as well.
, yesterday's commute I thought was good 17mph average and I got a tow from a truck for a couple of miles. I still felt 
when I got to work.
