I reckon a 10.30am start means I can leave home around 7.45am. Go past HPC at 8.30

I've got it around 40 miles from my house.
And I have a route.... did most of it when I cycled up to Abs in Feb.
Straight up the A5 to Stanmore, A411 to Watford and A251

Might tag along. Will decide a couple of days before when the forecast is in. Although would prefer to get there earlier to grab some breakfast ...

So now I'm thinking of not bothering with the train - that is if I'm able to do it, at all.....

Ok. I was going a bit more straightforward but I can live with that. I was going A5, A41, A4251.

Cheers.
As mentioned earlier, it's likely to be a last minute shout.
Client stuff has gone a bit ballistic here, and that's unlikely to change in the forseeable - It'll be down to what I can squeeze in.....
Rather avoid the A41 unless you think it will be ok on a Sunday morning. The A411 is just as direct but does mean going through Watford.

Clapham Junction/Watford Junction changes look best for me (could ride from Waterloo to Euston but any time saving is at best marginal). Will be seeing Mark on the 1022 arrival, hopefully.

…and regrettably there's no easy way of avoiding Watford. It's a bit of a nightmare ring road to get through and out the other side from the Bushey direction. Mind you, on a Sunday morning, it shouldn't have the usual snarl-ups and jams.
I believe it's legally possible on a bike to carry on in a straight line once you get past Watford High Street train station and up the High Street and under the subway at the very top end, avoiding the ring road, though I'm not 100% certain on the legality or otherwise. @jayonabike may be better informed.
