Peter has had to withdraw but Chris has stepped in and will lead the ride, with some Route variations. Pre Booked SPOKES Members (limit 6 including Leader) Join Chris ready for a 10.00 a.m. start

NB: Revised route (more scenic, avoids A5183 and some poor surface stretches).

Ride  out via Chandlers Cross, Chipperfield, Studham. Return via Flamsted, Redbourn, Gorhambury Estate (if open) and Bricket Wood. Mainly quiet roads with some cycle ways and a couple of busy B Road stretches. 2136 feet of climbing, some challenging. Lunch plan is a BYO Picnic in Verulamium Park, near the café. Café may provide an alternative but long queues last time so a few of our group used the cold/drink ice cream outside counter as an alternative.

A 47 mile Spokes Medium pace ride suitable for any Bike.
