Saturday 4 March 2023 - emerging from hibernation

It was rather cold and grey for our first ride of the season.  As we gathered at the start, on the Saturday before International Women's Day we struck the #EmbraceEquity pose.......... it looks very like the 'Brrr, it's cold, glad I've got my big gloves' pose.

We set off as one group, along the Alban Way to Smallford, then we headed across the field to Sleapshyde, where we snapped a group photo.

The Fabulous duo then returned to the Alban Way and wended their way along towards Ellenbrook.  The Further Faster quintet wended their way through Colney Heath and the University of Hertfordshire College Lane Campus and round to Ellenbrook, where we admired snowdrops.

Now we all yomped back along the Alban Way - amazing how much you enjoy the westward uphill drag when it's cold and you are heading for a warm building!  Our final destination was the Cottonmill Community and Cycling Hub, which was lively on its Opening Day Celebration.
