Meeting mid-morning by the War Memorial, St Albans, a stalwart group of five of us decided to dodge the thunder and regular heavy downpours and head off towards Benington.
The road to Codicote was flooded in places, but not in the spot in the woods, which is usually badly flooded after rain - they must have done something. We passed the picturesque mill on the River Mimram and then through Codicote, Nup End and Rabley Heath. The weather continued to look threatening, and here Eamon & Gary, like two of the Bisto kids, felt the tug of coffee at Spokes, just down the nearby lane.

The rest of us carried on for a bit, but at Datchworth we decided it was time to head for home. Sue went on her long trek back to north London, while Ronny and I had a pleasant sandwich in Tewin churchyard. It wasn't a very long ride, around 36 miles for me, but well worth the effort.
