Hatfield to St Albans

For those joining from Welwyn Garden City we follow the cycle path alongside the A1000 down into Hatfield and join riders at Hatfield Cycle Hub. We cycle up Homestead Road and join the Alban Way which we follow through the 'backs' of Hatfield, across and over local roads until we reach the main path opposite the Galleria. We follow the Alban Way almost uninterrupted to the end at St Albans where we turn into Cottonmill Lane and cycle along the residential road accessing the hub at Old Oak. After a refreshing stop in the cafe we cycle back to Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City along the same route.

The Alban Way - all the way!!

We will ride on the traffic free, tarmac laid Alban Way with a short hop onto quiet residential roads at the end.

We will stop at the Cottonmill Community and Cycling Centre and and enjoy time out in the café. Visit the cycle hub to see what's on offer to keep your bike in great repair.

Helmets are compulsory on this ride. Cycling mitts are recommended to absorb any bumps. High visibility tops would be useful but not essential as this ride is mainly traffic free. Bring a full water bottle to keep hydrated if its warm and to refill at the hub. Money / card to buy refreshments at the cafe. If you have them spare inner tubes, levers and a pump would be great.

We especially welcome newbies!
