Starting Point & Postcode
East Lane Car Park AL4 8BS
Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
1 hours 45 mins  (1 hours 0 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.
The Ayot Green Way runs between Welwyn Garden City and Wheathampstead. The Green Way was once part of the Luton to Welwyn Garden City single track railway line which was finally closed in 1966. This line was a passenger and commercial link, not only for the hat and motor industries in Luton but also for rural passengers including George Bernard Shaw who lived in Ayot St Lawrence. Starting in Welwyn Garden City, the well-surfaced Green Way heads to Wheathampstead through pretty woodland and rolling open fields.  Pack a drink and sandwich and join us for this beautiful, tranquil ride in the lovely Hertfordshire countryside.
