Direct to the country from the glorious surrounds of the Big Chef.

Sunday 16th December 3*
A magnificent sunny but chilly winters day enticed 3 riders to take the train to hertford north, and 11 mad souls to cycle out from london, 10 of them having sampled the ‘delights’ of the Big Chef in East Finchley. Cycling out from London meant that I clocked up about 95k, we suffered no mechanicals, and with the leader only getting lost a couple of times (it is possible to get lost in Hertfordshire) at which point Stephen Taylor lessened my embarrassment by leading, or cycled faster than me, or both . The Lilley Arms fed us well and we got back to Stevenage as the sun was setting at 3.30pm, having left home at sunrise. What more could you want, apart from not having to work on the Monday after a ride (ok every monday then)
