Band Stand to Harpenden return

We will now ride along the busway, and guided through luton town centre to the start of the disused railway line by luton parkway. This leads us all the way into Harpenden, where we come off the track, and into the town, and we will find a coffee shop, before headed back along the track and busway back home.
We have shortened the original planned route, so that we we are not pushed for time, as leaving at 2pm. And we are more confident along the nicky line to harpenden and the busway - so we have more off road riding!

Start ride along Busway to Luton, through Luton town center and join the Nicky line opposite Parkway Station. From here we will cycle into Harpenden, and onto Redbourn. At Redbourn we can stop for refreshments, and then head back along the lanes from Redbourn via Gaddeston Row, and back through Studham and over Dunstable Downs

Busway gravel and tarmac path to luton, cycle track on Nicky line to Redbourn, and narrow country roads back to Dunstable, crossing of main roads at junctions, over the downs on the roads, or possibly taking a further track back into Dunstable.

Plan to stop at Redbourn for refreshments (at pub or cafe?), otherwise regular water stops if required

Helmet, Money for refreshments

We never leave anyone behind
