DCH to Hatfield House - Pace Average: 8-10 mph - Red Nose Day Ride!

Comic Relief – Red Nose Day Ride!
Wear something red or buy your Red Nose and wear it on the day!

Following quieter lanes and roads towards St Albans this ride then continues on the Alban Way to Old Hatfield and a final uphill section to reach Hatfield House to stop at the Stable Yard Coffee Shop.
Returning on the same route towards Hemel Hempstead the ride continues through Leverstock Green and along Maylands Avenue to Redbourn Road to reach the cycle hub. This is a challenging ride without too many hills to climb of just under 29 miles.

Please wear layers to cope with the weather conditions and a rucksack so you can take off/put on layers as you need. Consider wearing a Hi-vis top and gloves are highly recommended.

Your bike should be in good working order for this ride, e.g. both brakes working & tyres pumped to pressure – though we can help you get your tyres to the correct pressure if you arrive 15 minutes before the ride start.

Please bring a couple of spare inner tubes – as if you have a puncture, changing the inner tube is the quickest way to fix it.

Should you need to buy a spare inner tube, Dacorum Cycle Hub sell recycled ones at 50p (patched); £1 (unpatched); & from £4 new. We are Not-for-Profit, do free bike assessments and will give you an honest price if your bike needs servicing.
