#BikeWeek #TGCinHerts in the tank tracks of Boudicca

Eleven riders today, ready to celebrate Bike Week and show that This Girl Can. It was a nice day to head north, even if it is 'rolling terrain'.  

We cut out a little bit of hill by using the footpath through by Beech Hyde Farm, and so we came into Wheathampstead down the side of Devil's Dyke, a feature of the old British settlement.

The village had the bunting out to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday weekend.  We enjoyed sitting in the sun at Loafing (used to be Ushers), getting ready for the return journey.  

It is a good idea to ride slowly, or even walk, up Brewhouse Hill, it lets you enjoy the architectural splendours and passing military vehicles to best effect.

Across Nomansland and back to Sandridge, then return to Morrisons via Jersey Lane and Oaklands. Twelve miles round trip.
