Watford Spokes Ride: Lovely ride from Watford to Aldenham Country Park

This is a nice steady ride along the ebury way, up through Otterspool Lane, and the lovely Wall Hall Estate. We will ride through Letchmore village and on past Elstree Aerodrome and into Aldenham Countrypark for a nice cup of tea or coffee and cake. If it is raining or chilly, I will detour and we can go to Elstree Aerodrome where we can sit indoors. The ride will be along quiet roads. There are a few hills (not overly steep) on the way there but the return ride is an absolute breeze, almost all downhill (the return takes no time at all). I ride at a steady pace anything from 8-14 mph depending upon the terrain. (I usually bring up the rear on hills, so you can be assured no one will be left behind). All in all its a pleasant ride and it makes a nice start to the weekend. I've kept the ride to 19 miles so that it isnt considered to be 'challenging' (which is Sky's classification), but in reality it will be anything between 20 and 22 depending if i make any errors (sorry detours).
