Hi all
I will be leading a 25 mile circular mainly flat bike ride starting from Rickmansworth tube/rail station at 10.30am to Bricket Wood on the outskirts of St Albans cycling along a mixture of cycle paths, country lanes, minor roads, canal paths, bridle paths, woods and parks before finishing back at Rickmansworth at approx 5pm on Sunday 7th October.
From Rickmansworth we cycle along the Ebury way towards Watford. After an optional early coffee stop at either the Watford cycle hub where they provide refreshments or The Giraffe café next to Tescos at Watford, we cycle along quiet country lanes surrounded by pleasant farmland and meadows, through Bricket Wood to the lunch stop at 'The Gate' at Bricket Wood.
For those that want to drop out after about 12 miles, the trains are every hour from Bricket Wood station to Euston - changing at Watford Junction. There is a train at 13.36.
The route then takes us to Kings Langley where we cycle along the canal path, then cycle through Whippendell Woods and Cassiobury Park where we re-join the canal path to Rickmansworth.
