Ride around Herts & Bucks

[jayonabike]

Thought i would try and get a ride together for either Sunday the 30th Jan or Sunday the 6th Feb. I have plotted a Route around 60 miles Starting at the White Horse in Harpenden, although this can be tweaked to start at Hemel or St. Albans train station. The route takes in a few hills, nothing major and I have a Cafe stop 15 miles in at Ashridge, it's outdoor seating only so good for keeping an eye on the bikes, a flat part 20-30 miles in, then through Berkhampsted, up into bovingdon, towards St. Albans then back to Harpenden. The route is mainly quiet lanes but a few miles of main roads as well, nothing too busy.

Any thoughts/comments?

Looks like a nice ride Jay.

I can't do either of those weekends (Maldon ride on the 30th) unfortunately.

But please do it again in the future, especially when it gets a bit warmer, and you may well get a peloton of Londoners riding out to join you

Yep I'd also be up for this if you arrange another one later in the year. I'm also on the Maldon ride on 30th

another one who is interested if you change the date...

 

[jayonabike]

The reason i have chose these dates is because Mark aka Lukesdad is down this way and i'm trying to organize a ride before he heads back to the 'back end of beyond' (also known as wales.

)
But i would be happy to do this ride again whenever it suits everyone.

Keep the dates Jay, hopefully you'll get a few more takers, but we'll expect a re-run later in the year

I don't disable it cos it irritates people..... and I'm like that.

I could join you on the 6th, but I'll bail and make my own way back if I'm hopelessly outclassed.
Which is very likely...

Well dont let those wishy washy londoners put you off Lj I ll be there whenever suits. Sooner we can confirm date and time the better really. Can fall in with the doctor s suggestion if you like.

O.k the 6th it is then. Anyone else up for it?

I keep telling you that a man of your age should get a cab to the corner shop......
