28/03/2012 – A Stroll in Chertsey again
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012Went for a stroll up to Chertsey Bridge then past the posh flats by the side of the river.
From the flats I cut back through the back alleys and back to Weir Road and thence to work.
Not a bad walk, but will go back to the riverside walk next time.
26/03/2012 – A walk along the river to Carcraft, through town and back in Chertsey

Then through town and finally returning via Wier Road
It was a lovely day and it was enjoyable hoof and made a break from the daily office grind 🙂
What dipshite decided on the Downs Link siting just above Bramber
Sunday, March 25th, 2012Now we all know that when you cycle uphill your breathing has to work harder, and that you take deeper breaths.
So when you ride out of the village after Kings Barn Farm you start ascending a hill,
‘So whats the problem’ I hear you cry – well just north of the farm is a sewage works, just what you need is great breaths of foul smelly air 🙁
25/03/2012 – West Grinstead to Shoreham Airport and back
Sunday, March 25th, 2012Yes went for the longest ride so far, all 26.1 miles of it, and it’s mission accomplished 🙂
I rode to Henfield with Iren leaving her at the Cat and Canary whilst I set off on the longer run,
Unlike last week there were no issues with wrong turns in Bramber, I was straight down to the Castle, across the A283 and down to the airport.
The warm weather of last week had dried the trails, but this lead to new issues, riding downhill on loose shingle like road surfaces does make the bum twitchy !
It was a good ride, in lovely weather (without getting cooked) and I was not alone in wanting to hit the bikes, they were everywhere, with riders young and old !
1 things bugs me about this ride, what sadistic swine decided that an uphill climb (where you need to breath deeply) should by the side of a sewage works :-O
Picked up Iren when I returned to the Cat and Canary before completing the last 4 1/2 miles back to the car.
It was only when I got home that the legs decided to grumble 🙁
sorry about the 2 halves of the map, there was too much distance covered for 1 screenprint. 🙂
24/03/2012 – Haywards Heath to Cuckfield + back with long loop twice ! & a ride with Mum / Iren
Saturday, March 24th, 20122 rides today,
The first being a long ride to Cuckfield and back, with the loop down Oathall and back up Sydney Road – and just to be masochistic I did this twice !
I went for this with a view to clocking up a decent distance and improve my stamina,
As this was the Saturday I had to go into Heath Road and through to Church Road as the market was blocking the broadway – in other words more hill work, oh joy !
Nothing much to report on the ride, except there is nothing better for curing constipation then a chuffing great lorry right behind you whilst climbing a hill !
The 2nd ride was through the cycle tracks with Mum and Iren from Mum’s to Tescos and back enjoying a coffee at the store.
This was not too bad and it was good to ride with both Iren and Mum again.
I have to say Tescos in Burgess Hill is woefully lacking in cycle racks 🙁
23/03/2012 – A shorter hoof around Chertsey
Friday, March 23rd, 2012Went for a shorter walk around chertsey at lunchtime – i was leaving early so felt that taking a shorter break would be seen as extracting the urine.
I walked passed the Bourne club onto cycle path 4 through to the Staines Road (next time it’s back along the river which looks far better)
Then walked through the town and returned via Free Prae road and the riverside path on the other side of work.
It was a lovely day, too good to be sat indoors 🙂
22/03/2012 – Haywards Heath to Cuckfield and back with the long loop added too
Thursday, March 22nd, 2012Went for what is becoming a usual Thursday lunchtime ride round town and to Cuckfield.
This was one of THOSE rides, with the odd surprise thrown in !
Surprise #1, it was harder getting tp the traffic lights in the Broadway, then found I was in middle ratio not low – DUH !
Rode round to Cuckfield then returned to town to drop down Oathall Road, and found Hazelgrove Road was slightly easier to get up 🙂
Whistled down Oathall then found the ascent up Sydney Road was easier than before and was able to use middle ratio again 🙂
Finally went up Perrymount in middle ratio 🙂
I can see that I will have to try the old circular run to see how much I have improved 🙂
21/03/2012 – A walk along the river to Carcraft, through town and back in Chertsey
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012Went for a walk along the riverside to Carcraft before heading through town and on to Wier Road and back to work.
In other words one of my usual treks round town.
