This ride will be led by Mark Fox and tail-ended by Dave Freeman

This route revisits the first ride out this year – it is a loop into Hertfordshire inspired by the wonderfully named village of Nasty.

Given that the temperature that day barely scraped above freezing, the original route had a couple of scenic but more “interesting” sections replaced – but now is the opportunity to reinstate those sections and enjoy the route in its full glory.

We start at the BP garage at Arrington and head via Ashwell and Sandon down to Walkern. We then head across country via Nasty to our breakfast stop at Pearce’s cafe on the A10.

With full stomachs, we’ll head north and skirt around Clavering to join the sinuous B1039 and run into Great Chishill. We then head across country to Therfield and then to the Royston McDonalds to end the route.

Total mileage is a modest 67 miles – but with plenty of back roads to keep the average speed down.

The ride is limited to 12 riders in total – due to space constraints at the breakfast stop.
