B-Ride

Hi Swans,
We are heading towards Ah, Tring—a delightful market town in Hertfordshire that beautifully balances old-world charm with modern convenience. Nestled amid the rolling Chiltern Hills, Tring is a haven for nature enthusiasts with scenic walking routes like the Ridgeway National Trail. The Tring Natural History Museum is a fascinating spot that would intrigue anyone interested in zoological wonders, originally founded by the illustrious Rothschild family. The town centre is a tapestry of Georgian and Victorian architecture. Hit that attend button if you fancy it!

Distance: 50.87 mi
Parcore: Pretty flat with one official climb at Grove.
Weather: Dry, 15c, a lot less wind, but what there is will be on our backs on the way home.
Cafe: Musset Café https://www.facebook.com/musettealdbury/?locale=en_GB

My friend Luke is going to come with us as well.

Hi @TallTim.

Hate to be the harbinger of bad news but, unless the Musette has re-opened very recently then i think you will find it closed. There is another coffee stop called Poppies in Aldbury village hall. https://www.poppiesaldbury.com/ It should be open on Sunday but you might want to double check. And, if you fancy a hill climb you could go up Old Tom's Hill as Poppies is right at the bottom of the hil.

@ChrisP: the cafe reopened last weekend: https://www.tringradio.co.uk/local/blogs/latest-on-tring-radio/post/new-cafe-in-aldbury/

@TallTim, would you consider modifying the route to avoid the A413 as per the A ride?

And the Leighton Buzzard bypass.

We can duplicate the A?

It does increase the length, let me have a tinker today

Maybe head to Nanna’s cafe at the great Train Robbers Bridge to shorten it

This is the actual route lifted from strava It will need a tweak as The road from Padbury to Sandhill Rd is showing as closed
