Now 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 🙁
Yes 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. 🙂
