I have one taker, Jim S. We head northwest through Denham to Masterchef at Amersham for coffee. We are joined by Chris K. After refreshments we head for the Chess valley and up Blackwell Hall Lane. This is a route I'm told which is less travelled, by Loiterers anyway. We pass Ley Hill, Bovingdon and Sheethanger Common (please insert inappropriate Welsh joke here). As we approach Hemel, a sign resembling the star of David heralds a ginormous ring junction roundabout. (Think Denham RBT). Having survived this ordeal we are minutes away from out lunch stop at The Full House pub. It's a converted bingo hall and was once a cinema so the flooring is split level. Unusual for a Wetherspoons, the conveniences are neither in the basement or up a flight of stairs. I share a meal deal with Jim. In my case oodles of noodles. Afterwards, Jim steers me on course for Kings Langley. At Hunton Bridge we join the River Gade, exiting at Cassiobury Park, to the sound of a sixties tribute band playing Louie Louie. I discover that headbanging is not possible while riding a bike. Not safely anyway. Chris helps me find a less busy route through Watford to the Ebury Way, and our tea stop at The Pennsylvanian, Rickmansworth. This is our second Wetherspoons in one day, so my next endeavour will have to be three. Chris leaves us here for Northwood and beyond. Jim and I head for an almost vacant Aquadrome and back through Denham Village.
