We had our first cake ride, I beg your pardon cycle ride, of 2011 on Saturday 16 April. Our new destination-determining system of looking in The Advertiser came up trumps! On a lovely sunny day we pootled east along the Alban Way to Hixberry Lane, we then looped through Highfield Park, Tyttenhanger and Sleapshyde to rejoin the Alban Way and head west to Oaklands.
Through the college grounds, and up through the houses to join Jersey Lane. Up Marshals Drive, then down Lancaster Road and Battlefield Road, thinking of the fallen of the second battle of St Albans 550 years ago. This rather roundabout route delivered us to St Saviour's Church for the Cystic Fibrosis Easter Cake Sale.
We can advise you that the baking tasted as good as it looks!
We certainly deserved our refreshment stop after our graceful ascent in the latter part of our route.
