Ride around Herts & Bucks

There's no buffet open at Harpenden Station at the weekend, but there are toilets just past the ticket office.

Yes it was a bit when i rode it last thursday, more potholes than back in November, plus the two sets of traffic lights are a pain. It's a bit of a steep climb up to Wigginton but worth it for the surrounding countryside. I'm hoping to cycle most of the route tomorrow, i didn't get time to go out on the bike today.

still 50:50 for this, I'm not riding all week to see if my knee will heal (feels like a patella ligament strain - damn slushy bumpy snow!). I may do the sunday london ride if it doesn't feel up to the chilterns.

Come on Abs, it'll get your Feb century out of the way nice and early (although no reason why there shouldn't be another one later in the month). HPC at 8am.....

That was my thought. To get it out of the way especially as I'm busy the second weekend and potential the third with only the last weekend truly available. Going to skip though and spend some time with Andy that doesn't involve the bike.

EDIT : I hope no one noticed the typo I corrected.

No, no "ish"!!! We won't have to wait for Abs this week.....

So is it just us two leaving from HPC?

I'm not liking the look of the forecast so far for Sunday!
