Today’s ride was a pleasant, hilly affair and the whole point of this particular ride is to get people used to long, gradually ascending climbs. We took an easy route out of St Albans via the park and then made our way over to Rucklers Lane via Bedmond. Just as we were beginning the climb up to Chipperfield one of our number spotted her husband cycling past us (he didn’t spot his spouse though). Rucklers was unusually busy and we had to pull over a couple of times. After the climb we were rewarded with tea and cakes at the garden centre.
When we emerged from the café we could feel the heat had risen quite a bit, so I decided to miss out on going into Chipperfield and opted for going back the way we came and go to King’s Langley via Barnes Lane. Once in Kings Langley we made quick work of the busy area and were soon huffing and puffing up the delights of Tom’s Lane.
It was a very hot but pleasant morning’s ride, looking forward to the next one ☺
