This is always a well-attended ride and this year I decided to do the ride in the reverse direction, so we meandered through the back streets of Fleetville a bit then picked up the foot/cycle path that leads from Marshallswick right down to Sandridge.

A quick waddle through said village saw us onto Coleman Green lane, a steady accent but a lovely quiet lane, and we took Beech Hyde Lane to get down to Wheathampstead. From here we made our way onto The Ayot Green Way. This great slice of countryside has been made even better by a good ‘ol fashion clean up. It really is a fantastic traffic free route to Ayot St Peter and when you get there it’s just a quick cycle up a hill then you are into Sherrard’s Park, another good traffic free route to WGC. We made use of Handside Lane and were soon at a well-deserved coffee stop.
The route back to Morrisons was some jiggery pokery at Stanbrough, then we connected to the Alban Way, which at that time of day was relatively pedestrian free and very pleasant to ride along. The route was just under 19 miles and was a great success. To be repeated.
