It was a lovely morning for a Further Faster ride led by Teresa.
Six of us set out from Morrisons. Most of
us had not been on a formal ride since lockdown, so it was lovely to catch up
with everyone.
We went via Sandridgebury Lane to Sandridge, then up Coleman
Green Lane. Here we were harangued by a woman in Heartwood Forest about the
rubbish that had been dumped in the layby. We took some photos and will
forward them to the Council. We managed to curtail the ranting and moved on.
Going left at Drovers Road then across Nomansland we were
surprised at how little traffic there was, although it was half-term. We then went down Pipers Lane, along Grove
Road and to the café in Southdown.
Afterwards we cycled back along Grove Road, then up Cross Lane past the stables. We came out on East Common, headed along and then right onto Ayres End Lane. Crossing Harpenden Road we cycled back to St Albans on the cycle path, which was muddy and overgrown in parts. We split at New Greens Ave with some going to the centre of St Albans and some to Marshalswick. The rider who returned to Park Street did the furthest ride! Most of us did about 12-15 miles on a cool, dry day with no wind.
We forgot to take photos of the group, so here is a picture of the rubbish instead!
