2016-05-10 A great ride to Woodside in the rain.

A forecast of interminable rain led to the lowest turnout of the year (so far) and a merged A and Inter Ride. However the rain proved light and Mick Crowe led a great Inter ride to Woodside. Eschewing the "normal " westerly route Mick took us up to the edge of Luton airport and to a glorious, long sweeping downhill lane past Luton Hoo. On the Harpenden - Luton cycle path we saw Roman edible snails easily recognisable by their light bodies and long eye stalks. At the Plough (under new management) we joined up with John Edwards B riders for a pleasant lunch (sadly snails weren't on the menu).
