nice evening out
to make the most of the light evenings i have asked a friend if she would like to come for a bike ride. so i'm looking for a route that includes the following
1~ off road ~ bridal ways ect as i have 2 dogs in pursuit[B)]
2~ pub on route with beer garden and food[;)]
3~ is likely to be a sunday evening so pub must do food sunday
evenings. [:p]
4~ must pass water as dogs will want a swim to cool off.[:p][:D]
5~ would prefere circular route but doesn't have to be.[:)]
thankyou for any help you can give and i will look forward to trying any suggestions over the next few sundays[:D]if i can walk after this first one![:D][8D][:D]

Cole Green path goes from West Street through to Panshanger in WGC, not a circular but a nice ride, it has a pub half way down, or go to the Attimore at the end in Panshanger. Or [url]http://www.leevalley-online.co.uk/leisure/walks/leavalleywalk.htm[/url] This is my favourite, you can go as far as you like, you have many pubs to choose from, many towns to stop off at and of course there is lots of water! Hope that helps!
This is presuming you will be starting out in Hertford, I know many other good routes but you will need a cycle carrier on your car!
I advise a good pair of cycle shorts (under your regular clothes, if like me you lack confidence to wear them!)[:I]

Not sure which route you mean is for you?
If you go down West Street just at the start of the left hand bend there is a sharp hill on the right side of the road, down to the FC. Go straight down over the lil bridge and across the car park, you will see a path ahead (normally gate is left open) there are horse jumps to the left and a small field to the right where you will normally see a horse or two!
I'm not sure about food, there is only one pub actually on this route, you go across a bridge which the pub is under, its easy to get down there though! (other posters please name this pub?) If I was you I would go with the lee valley route as there are many good pubs to choose from and would probably suit the dogs better!
(I'm off on a semi bike holiday in Cornwall wk after next, best place in England to ride a bike imho)
