17/07/2012 – To Lindfield, Ardingly, Borde Hill, and back home

Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

Did the same ride as this morning, but without Pete and without the extra Lindfield loop – wanted to assess fitness (now if you see it can you please let me know, cos I’m buggered if I can find it πŸ™

The hills weren’t too bad to begin with, but 2nd time around does expose the fatigue creeping in!

However in 8.7 miles I took 8 minutes off the time to reach the turning by the Post Office and raised the average speed from 9.78 to 11 mph πŸ™‚

All in all a good day’s riding πŸ™‚

Yet another 10 mile plus ride to consume the odd ounce (or more I hope) ridden with my neighbour Pete.

We headed up for Lindfield viaΒ  Denham Lane and then went for the hills to Ardingly.

Those hills were still tough, but they appeared to be easier, perhaps all my hard work is paying off πŸ™‚ (wishful thinking no doubt)

Once in Ardingly turned to come back via the college and then headed up the first tough hill which seemed to be cleared much quicker – this time I could power up it standing rather than seated πŸ™‚

We then headed over to Borde Hill and returned to the Heath,

From here we went back to Lindfield, and returned home via Gander Hill

A good ride, with good company and it felt like I am stronger than before πŸ™‚
