Spokes SW Herts Social Ride - St Albans

Out with Peter via Croxley Green, Sarratt, Chipperfield, Abbotts Langley and Bedmond to St Albans Verulamium Park. Return via the Abbey Way. 1300 feet of climbing, includes a few challenging hills. Refreshment stop at Lazy Llama Cafe, Chiswell Green. Buy at cafe or bring your own refreshment for an outdoor refreshment stop, weather permitting. Final decision on the day but we may approach Verulamium Park via Gorhambury Estate which is expected to open by then but that would not be suitable for skinny tyres due to down hill poorly surfaced initial drive, circa 1/4 mile (walkable if preferred).
