ride to ardeley

The Verulam Cycling Club Sunday ride was to a village named Ardeley, a very pretty village near to Watton-on-Stone. It was a very windy day but compensated by the rural scenery in that part of Hertfordshire. The village has nice thatched cottages and a very nice tea room with facilities for children to see farm animals and trips for school parties. A round trip from Wheathampstead of 41 miles. Early autumn is a nice time to ride a bike, so get yours out of the garage!

Trip to High Cross

Last weekend I went to High Cross,on the A10, to a public house, the White Horse,
which by prior appointment serves cakes, tea and coffee to 60 riders from the
Verulam Cycling Club, based in St Albans. The A10 is a quiet road, having been by-passed by the M11 motorway. The round trip from Wheathampstead, where I live,
was 37 miles. The countryside in that part of Herts in very open and scenic.
One of the interesting villages in this area in one called Ugly and another called Cold Christmas. A very nice ride on a very windy day. The joke of course is the village is full of ugly people! Best wishes, Harold.

MY NEW BIKE

I bought a new bike this week and all the equipment is modern and the legs are old.
It has 21 gears and I only use the bottom ones aluminium as well!!.
If you would like to make an offer; must be over £1500!!

Until the photo of my new bike is available!

I have not yet got the promised photograph of my new "all singing & dancing" new bike.

In the meantime, I thought I would add a photo of the first bike I used when I first joined the cycling club some years ago.

To Come in due course (when time available!)

I hope to upload some cycling pictures in due course.
I will hope to do this at the Wheathampstead Community Group Internet Cafe http://www.wheathampsteadwcg.org/internet-cafe.html which I attend every Tuesday.
