Ten riders, including a new recruit, set off in rather inclement spring weather. Along the Alban Way, plenty of families with youngsters in box-bikes or on their own two wheels. Up through the houses on NCN6 to the Watford Road, and across to Ragged Hall Lane. The ride split at this point, with Angela leading the gentler option back to the Alban Way. Our new rider had a very heavy electric bike, which was not coping well with the hilly terrain. Leader Angela peeled off with a flatter run along the Alban Way to the Galleria and back, giving the opportunity to practice operating the machine on an easier route
The Further Faster bunch carried on through flooded lanes via Potters Crouch to Beechtree Lane and the Gorhambury Estate. Snowdrops, and impressive low-flying kite and atmospheric ruins enjoyed, then the downhill run to the Inn on the Park for refreshment.
