Rode to Cuckfield, looped round through the village not touching the bypass as the legs were tired.
Rode back to the Heath and dropped down Perrymount Road to home.

13/05/2012 – a short ride to Cuckfield and back
Sunday, May 13th, 201213/05/2012 – a wander to Cuckfield and returning via Hanlye Lane and the Balcombe Road
Sunday, May 13th, 2012Iren and I decided to walk the route to Cuckfield heading to the Balcombe Road and back
The distance recorded is slightly suspect as it was recorded on my phone rather than the faithful old GPS
It was a good walk but the lack of footpaths on Hanlye Lane means that you need to pay attention to oncoming traffic.
13/05/2012 – A quick ride from Haywards Heath through Lindfield, onto Ardingly, and back
Sunday, May 13th, 2012Revisited the ride from 10/03/2012 to judge on how the fitness is some 2 months later
On that day the hills on the way to Ardingly from Lindfield killed me and some pushing was the order of the day, this time I managed to ride the hills and only had to push coming back into Lindfield up the mother of a hill 🙂
Overall the top speed was less but I took 10 minutes of the time taken and raised the average speed by nearly 2 mph 🙂
12/05/2012 – Haywards Heath to Cuckfield, back, then to Lindfield and Back on the bike, did a different Cuckfield Loop later
Saturday, May 12th, 2012Did the now becoming familiar ride to Cuckfield, back through Haywards Heath and onto Lindfield before returning to the Heath.
I included the extra smidgen via Gander Hill but this ride will stick in the memory more for the amount of times I had to stop when I was cruising along nicely 🙁
Car drivers shis morning seemed to be out to make life harder 🙁
still it was a good work out 🙂
In the afternoon I took the bike out again and rode to Cuckfield then back via Hanlye Lane and the Balcombe Road 🙂
11/05/2012 – Took new bike to Birdies in Chertsey and walked back
Friday, May 11th, 2012Rode the bike the long way to Birdies at Chertsey via Wier Road, then walked back via Carcraft and the river 🙂
10/05/2012 – Haywards Heath to Cuckfield and back
Thursday, May 10th, 2012Rode the old bike to Cuckfield and returned via the bypass, rode through town and came back via Sydney Road
A good ride to keep the fitness up
09/05/2012 – A shorter hoof around Chertsey
Wednesday, May 9th, 2012Just a short hoof round Chertsey, along the side of the river to Carcraft then back through the town.
This was a shorter walk for two reasons:
a) I needed to visit a couple of shops in town
2) the weather was threatening to get horrid 🙁
07/05/2012 – Haywards Heath circular ride, still getting used to the new bike
Monday, May 7th, 2012Yep, took the new bike out on the circular ride again to get used to the bike more, felt more at ease with the brakes today, but I am still thinking of getting different levers.
Overall a nice little ride 🙂
07/05/2012 – a wander round Brighton Bank holiday Market
Monday, May 7th, 2012Wandered round the Bank holiday Market at Brighton – it’s huge, and we parked in Tenentry Road, so a bit of stroll to get to it too.
07/05/2012 – Haywards Heath to Cuckfield, back, then to Lindfield and Back on the bike
Monday, May 7th, 2012Trying out new saddle on the mountain bike, treated it to the usual lengthy run to Cuckfield and Lindfield (not got used to the drop handlebars on the new bike yet)
Unusually for a bank holiday it was dry, and not too cold, so just right for a ride.
However the jury is out on the new saddle, I’m going to adjust the blighter, as my bum felt slippier than a politician being questioned on expenses!
