19/05/2012 – Haywards Heath to Lindfield and Back on the new bike – take 2

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

Rode again to Lindfield, this time crossing town before zooming down Oathall and heading for Lindfield.

Unlike last time I turned round at my usual point and did the now customary return via Gander Hill

It’s still early days with the new bike but the distances are now mounting up 🙂

19/05/2012 – Haywards Heath to Lindfield and Back on the new bike

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

Rode to Lindield and back on the new bike to compare it with the mountain bike ride from last week.

This bike is faster and easier to ride, but it has higher gearing, and the hill out the back of Lindfield was a hill too far 🙁

I tried by the legs lacked the energy to get up it so had to turn back and come home, although I did ride through Gander Hill.

Although this was not a completely successful ride, it was the furthest I have ridden on the racer 🙂 and it wasn’t that long ago that doing 5 miles on the moutain bike would be a challenge 🙂
