went for my usual ride this lunchtime only for it to begin raining so had to turn back just before Hanlye Lane – yep muppet features didn’t have any wet weather gear.

Did the same ride as this morning, this time on the old bike to get a comparison between them.

Much prefered the lower gearing although both left me cream crackered !

The riders are still streaming up Oathall on the London to Brighton ride, the numbers at this late stage suprised me.

The route, just to remind you, was up Balcombe Road, up Hanlye Lane,

Down into Cuckfield and returning to Haywards Heath,

Down Oathall road, then up Gander Hill before returning home.

Yep, I did old faithful again,

There’s a blustery wind out there, it made it a tough ride as it seemed no matter what direction you rode, you were going into the wind 🙁

It was the usual ride, Balcombe Road, Hanlye Lane, through Cuckfield to the bypass, back through town and down Oathall Road.

then onto the back of Lindfield, before returning via Gander Hill

Still it’s done and another 10.6 miles bites the dust 🙂

Yes, I have done a biggie – well it is for me.

Rode from West Grinstead to Christ’s Hospital School,

Turned back and then rode all the way to Shoreham Airport, including through a muddy field with cows ambling about!

Rode through the airport, on to town and then started the return leg

The hill by the farm just north of Bramber seemed much easier,  which is just as well as I had to sliver through the damn field with the cows in again – I can confirm that you can wheelspin a bicycle in mud and stay on 🙂

Finally reached the car with the Sat Nav Batteries giving up the ghost.

Sorry about all the pics, it’s a long trek !

Yep, I did this again as it is now becoming the keep fit run – oh I admit it the keep fuggared run 🙂

Today the run seemed tougher than yesterday, although the wind wasn’t so strong, although finishing in the drizzle isn’t my idea of fun 🙁

It was a good ride to keep up the war on me weight 🙂

Rode up Balcombe Road, across Hanlye Road to Cuckfield,

Returned to the Heath via the Cuckfild Bypass.

Rode through town and down Oathall Road

Went to the back of Lindfield and returned via Gander Hill

cream crackered again !
