We had eleven riders enjoying sustainable transport this morning, with our ride being one of the first events in the Sustainable St Albans Festival programme. We were delighted to have Catherine, one of the #SustFest19 organisers, with us.
Bit grey and chilly as we set off, but we did get some sunny spells along the way.
We headed along the Alban Way as far as Hill End Lane, then we wended our way through Highfield Park, with a pause for an official #SustFest19 group photo.

Highfield Park is a lovely place to cycle, with lots of trees. The path is a bit bumpy, so the action shots are a little blurred.
We did the loop down Nightingale Lane, along the A414 cycle track and then up Highfield Lane, through the southern part of Highfield Park, and onward to London Road. More woodland on the Herons Way bridleway, then it was a quick downhill run to Ayletts for our coffee stop.
Ayletts are also participating in #SustFest19, here is their display.
We enjoyed coffee and cake in the Dahlia Cafe, then headed back to Morrisons via London Road, Highfield Park and the Camp Cycle Route. We rode about 8.5miles, here is a screen shot of the route.
South Herts Cyclists will be supporting the St Albans Cycle Campaign at the #SustFest19 #MarketTakeover on Sunday 19 May, so do come along if you want any more information.
