As it was a very hot weather forecast for Sunday we decided to do an early ride from St Albans setting off at 9 o'clock so we could get home before the heat of the afternoon. Steve H bravely rode up from Harrow to join us at the start outside the Blacksmiths Arms. We headed north past Sandridge then through Mackerye End before going through Preston towards Gosmore. We travelled along the unusually named "Half Handkerchief Lane" before passing through St Ibbs (yes there really is a place called St Ibbs) and Titmore Green to reach the Par 3 Golf club cafe at about 11 am.We sat in the shade at an outdoor table where it felt quite cool, a good choice for a hot day.

Afterwards we took a direct route back, via Crouch Green and Kimpton Mill reaching St Albans at about 1.30. Steve H joined us for a cold drink in our garden before setting off back to Harrow.
41 miles was quite enough on a hot day,
Carol
