Or, we could try something new - I've been wanting to put this route together for ages: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46817399
St Albans start/finish. 20min nonstop train from St Pancras just after 7, so we can be rolling around 7:30. Head over Dunstable Downs then across to Ivinghoe Beacon, followed by 8 miles downhill to Hemel and then back to St Albans past the sights and smells of the Buncefield fuel storage tanks.
Trains back every 20mins, last sensible one 2347 but there's a 0025 too. ~25 miles BTCL.
Dunstable downs cafe closes 5pm sadly, but it's still a reasonable pitstop with a good view.
