A long and lazy Christmas break, too much food and no exercise and we are desperate to go for a bike ride!
Temperatures are a shade below zero and everything is sparkly white!
We have decided to try the Alban Way, a disused railway line between St Albans and Hatfield, but we need to get there by car.
The bike rack on the car looks about as ready as the roads to take a bicycle.
But Stuart likes his bike rides, so he defrosts the car and gets everything ready. (I exit the house, once the car hot seat is thoroughly heated). Note the fetching headgear is to go under a cycle helmet, he's not going to attempt an early Loony Dook in Verulam lake.

The Alban Way is a very straight forward cycle path, flat and even and no cars. Exactly what is needed for an icy day.
We stop in Hatfield for an average toasted tea cake and an awful cup of coffee. We won't be returning to that establishment.
Fortunately there are no mishaps along the frosty cycle path and when we get home, thanks to a new Breadmaker Bible Christmas present, there is a delicious freshly baked Parmesan and sun dried tomato loaf waiting for us!
Ok, I admit that this blog does not contain a lot of cycling, it is more a reminder that we are prepared to cycle in all weathers!
