Celebrating International Women's Day

It was snowing when I set off for the rendezvous!

In view of the cold and the poor forecast, a fairly short ride was in order today.  Since we were welcoming two new riders to the 5MTF experience a traffic free route was also desirable.  So Alban Way it was!

There is always something new to see along the Alban Way these days, especially from Smallford to Nast Hyde.  The station building at Smallford is now visible and Nast Hyde station is increasingly delightful.

The 'station clock' suggested we move on for coffee, so we looped around through Wilkins Green. Boldly we tackled Station Road, the roundabout and the Hatfield Road to get to Notcutts.  Riding in a tight group and riding at a good pace we took our place in the traffic stream and had no problems.

Very nice hot drinks and cake in Notcutts café, friendly staff. It was actually a little brighter with glimpses of blue sky as we sped (relatively) westward back to Fleetville.
