A Harpenden man who died during a cycle ride on Nicky Line in Redbourn has been named.
46 year old Nick Pym died in an incident on September 5 near Harpendenbury Farm and Redbourn Golf Course when he fell from his bike for reasons unknown.

Amanda and Nick moved to Harpenden in 2006 where they gained a large group of friends, who they regularly socialised with, alongside the close friends they made whilst at university.

Amanda said: “Nick loved spending time with his family. We recently returned from a holiday in America, where we spent three weeks on a road trip along the west coast. This was a holiday day of a life time for us.
Amanda continued: “Nick was a huge character. He was very funny, sharp-witted – with great one-liners – and very intelligent. He was known for his eccentricity, but above all he was a real caring and generous family man.
“He will be missed by so many people – by his work colleagues, friends but, above all, by his family.”
