This morning was the coldest in Hertfordshire this autumn with a widespread frost and ice on a few puddles.The trees are sheding their leaves like falling snow. Time to wrap up warm to go cycling but the rewards are the crisp air and the varied colours of the trees. The narrow lanes in Herts are relatively free from traffic and the countryside undulating, which gives a chance to work on the pedals and keep warm. Best sight of the morning was a field with shire horses and the foals grazing happily in the frosty grass. Only the quietness of cycling can give you this pleasure. Try it!
