Starting from the Timberlake Car Park off Radlett Road in North Watford, this scenic route is best suited to mountain bikes and hybrids with offroad tyres.

The route is 50% offroad and takes you on quiet lanes and woodland bridleways, through Aldenham Village and Letchmore Heath to the beautiful Aldenham Country Park and reservoir. Here we can enjoy a snack, hot drink or cake from Rustic Rhubarb cafe, or the kiosk, before heading back. There are also toilets on site.

Rustic Rhubarb is normally Halloween themed at this time of year, so feel free to add some Halloween spooky decorations to yourself or your bike, if you like!

Mountain bikes, hybrids with offroad tyres, gravel / cyclocross bikes are best suited to this. Bridleways and off road tracks will have muddy and uneven surfaces so road / slick tyres are not suitable.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear a helmet as the route goes through some bumpy terrain. Don't forget a drink and a snack, a spare inner tube or two, and some cash or a card in case of emergency (please note the kiosk has a minimum card fee of £3). We don't normally need bike locks here but you can bring one if you like.

Please arrive by 10:20am so we can run through a riders register and bike checks before we set off.

This 12 mile ride will be supporting Helping Herts "The Great 12 Challenge". You can choose to make a donation to the charity here: https://www.helpingherts.com/the-great-12-challenge/

Look forward to seeing you!
