7km. Further south along the Watton turnpike.

8km. Further south still.  Near White Hall.

Village Bimble.

I went out this morning and rode through some small villages around the south of Stevenage.
Not an exciting trip, but pleasant, sunny and relaxed. I covered 35km and arrived back for a late lunch.

Two views of wildflowers at Fairlands Lakes.

The Beane Valley from the Watton to Walkern road.

Watton at Stone.

Harmer Green.

Three more views in the Harmer Green area.

Distant views of Datchworth.

Woolmer Green in foreground. Stevenage on the horizon.

Thrre views of Mardley Heath.

Views of Knebworth village (2).

Village 1 was near the church and was cleared to improve the Lyrtton family's view and protect their delicate upper-class sensibilities.

Village 3 is at the base of the hill on the Great North Road.

I'm still a sad little bimbler.

Big things are just around the corner (metaphorically).
