Three miles in to this loop I heard the dreaded Ppsssshhhhh ... drat! Flat tyre. Even worse, it was on the rear. Always a bit if a pain getting the rear wheel off and on again!

I made my way past the historic roman wall in St Albans and onto Hatfield, before heading North to Welwyn Garden City where I stopped for a break at the …
