Today, as the dark mornings are arriving, I had a short ride to the comparatively new town of Stevenage which, when it was planned, had the good foresight to install a cycle track around the town with signposted exits for various areas of the town. There is a man-made park there called Fairlands Valley which a small boating lake and and yachting centre where young people learn to sail small dinghies. I met members of the cycling club I belong to, the Verulam Cycling Club, based in St Albans. We had a nice group of about 12 riders and took a country route home via Aston End, a nice village within a mile of the main town. The previous evening the club had its annual dinner where prizes for the winners of races were presented. It was a late night with a disco, which is not for me at 81 years of age but the young people enjoy it which is great.
As the daylight hours get shorter in November I will try to let you have some information on the various sights and places of interest in and around Wheathampstead. Best wishes and get that bike out. Total milege today: 31.
