Midweek Evening Rides

Evening cycle rides all start at 7.30pm from The War Memorial in St Peter's Street, St Albans - near The Blacksmiths Arms. If you can't make the start you can always join us in the pub at around 8.30-9.00pm. We'll spend about an hour in the pub before returning home. Rides are about 10 - 15 miles long and are tailored to suit all abilities, so nobody gets left behind. We welcome all cyclists of all ages. Don't forget to bring your lights.
