Saturday, July 21st, 2012Rode up the Balcombe road and Hanlye Lane to reach Cuckfield,
Then rode to Balcombe,
Returned to town via the village and the Balcombe Road – that road is an image of the Pleasure/Pain principle, one minute you are hammering downhill at 32 mph, then next its grab bottom gear and hit 2.5 mph as you crawl uphill :-O
We finished off riding to Lindfield and returnin via Sydney Road

Friday, July 20th, 2012Did a short ride this afternoon up the Balcombe Road, and Hanlye Lane to Cuckfield.
Turned back in the centre of the village and rode back to town to finish with a descent of the Broadway.
This was just a short ride to rattle up a few more miles and get 100 miles covered this week 🙂

One observation on today’s run, is it take your motorbility scooter for a drive day ? in Lindfield there appeared to be several out and about including one guy I saw twice trundling down the road on his red speedster oblivious of the confusion with drivers behind him !

17/07/2012 – To Lindfield, Ardingly, Borde Hill, and back home
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012Did 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 🙁
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 🙂
All in all a good day’s riding 🙂
17/07/2012 – To Lindfield, Ardingly, Borde Hill, Lindfield, and back home
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012Yet another 10 mile plus ride to consume the odd ounce (or more I hope) ridden with my neighbour Pete.
We headed up for Lindfield via 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 🙂 (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 🙂
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 🙂
15/07/2012 – Shoreham to Worthing and back
Sunday, July 15th, 2012Iren and I parked at Shoreham Lagoon
We rode along the beach side into Worthing as a way to ease Iren back into riding
We didn’t reach the Pier but we will on a future ride,
It was a pleasant ride, nice and level with a decent hard surface – ideal for Iren
The only issues we had were with a 40ft no ride section (??) and kids with no idea of traffic (either 2 or 4 wheeled)
15/07/2012 – Haywards Heath to Cuckfield, onto Ansty & Burgess Hill, & back, then to Lindfield and Back on the bike

We turned sharp left at the first roundabout in Burgess Hill and headed back on Isaacs Lane to town.
We crossed town and went down Oathall and into Lindfield,
Here we turned left into Denhams Lane and returned home via Gander Hill
