I don't want you to aggravate them - if it helps you decide, this route has 4 climbs
- A shorter-than-you-expect drag up to the Downs followed by a fast descent
- A gentle drag up a fairly fast main road to the bottom of the Beacon
- The Beacon is steeper with a switchback
- Another annoying drag up the Hemel ring road
There are a few options to bail
- Luton (7 miles from the Downs)
- Cheddington (near the Beacon)
- Berkhamsted (just before Hemel)
- Hemel
- A shorter-than-you-expect drag up to the Downs followed by a fast descent

Despite what I said before I've been making excellent progres with my ribs. Still makes a bit of crunchy/clicking when coughing but the pain almost gone (when cycling). So could be in! These long evenings don't last long.
