Breeze to the Country Park

Meeting at Watford Cycle Hub at 12:30 our route takes us along cycle paths and minor roads to Cassiobury Park. We go through the park before cycling a short section of the busy Hempstead Road which we soon leave to go up a traffic free cycle path called Gypsy Lane. Another cycle path alongside a road takes us to Leavesden Country Park in which used to be Leavesden Mental Hospital until it closed in 1997. We retrace our route through the park and follow some minor roads before crossing Alban Wood as we head towards our drink and cake stop! After a rest we continue along cycle paths and roads back through Cassiobury park and back to the Hub. Girls aged 14 and over who are confident riders are welcome if accompanied by a riding adult.
