I'm going over to Berkhamsted / Tring tomorrow to find some hills and relive my youth. Looking to leave Baldock around 9am. Open for anyone to join. No route planned
I recommend you download the GPX for the Chiltern 100 route from the Human Race website. It takes you up and down the Chiltern escarpment and there are plenty of bail out points. The Wee Bookshop cafe in Chinnor is good and welcoming to cyclists.
Not quite a hundred - 94 miles Got lost a bit, though that's the fun as it gives you chance to find new roads! Took in the view of the Dunstable Downs as I went past Whipsnade Zoo - though they seem more "ups" than "downs". And the strong headwind made it hard going. Quick trip around Ivinghoe, then off to Tring for a coffee and cake at "the Cog". Then back via the lumpy bits near Berkhamsted and through Markyate, Wheathamsted, Welwyn, Datchworth, Walkern - all with a tailwind.
Looking forward to the Tring ride [again] in a few weeks.
