As the bike option is out of action for the time being took a lunchtime stroll along the river
Then crossed town to Wier Road
Walked back to work on Eastworth Road
A nice autumnal stroll (the legs agree but the feet are not best pleased !)

07/10/2012 – discovering the Worth Way with Iren
Sunday, October 7th, 2012Took a ride out on the Worth Way this afternoon to see what it was like.
We found that it was muddy, not a problem for me, but Iren prefers paved runs to muddy ones, of course snapping off your new rear mudguard doesn’t help 🙁
We rode from the Church at Worth to Crawley down and back.
We found this run quieter (with the exception of crossing the M23) that the other runs we have covered.
This will be revisited at some point in the future

07/10/2012 – Wivelsfield, Ditchling, Clayton, Burgess Hill and back
Sunday, October 7th, 2012Rode to Ditchling via Wivelsfield,
Attempted the Beacon but the legs didn’t want to play the game after yesterday’s 30+ miles so ended up pushing the bike most of the way.
When I reached the top I rode across to the mills at Clayton
Then rode to Hassocks
Returned via Burgess Hill picking up a puncture on the way, it felt like a slow puncture but after refilling the tyre I noticed it went down fast so had to push the bike for the last couple of miles back to the bike shop – the cause some useless lump had left their wing mirror on the cycle path.
I use these rides to loose pounds, but the plan was to loose pounds of the waist not the wallet 🙁
