One star ride – Sunday 29th November
Posted on Sunday 29 November 2009 by Alison Ewington
Well it was supposed to be a one-star ride but I think we could only claim half a star. The weather was not kind – we even had hail before starting out. But nothing daunted, one hardy rider (Maria) set off from distant Chiswick and made it to Welwyn Garden City. With support from Barnet Cyclists (part of the London Cycling Campaign) we made a group of five.
Plan A was trip to the museum at Ware but the prospect of soaking up more and more rain didn’t really appeal so Plan B was a slightly shorter ride to Hertford for lunch. Much of the ride was along an old railway line so we were sheltered by trees, a bit, but we certainly went through enough puddles to give our wheels a decent wash. In all about 25km, it wouldn’t win us any prizes but we went out regardless and did enjoy ourselves in a funny sort of way. Better out than in as they say!
