Did the green run again today with Pete to give him a look at this
This time we just did the ride:
Down Perrymount, under the bridge and up to the Sergison
Down Isaacs Lane to Burgess Hill, then back up to Cuckfield via Ansty
Down Hanlye Lane and Balcombe Road before returning to base in Perrymount Road
Did the route of the 2013 Haywards Heath bike ride Green run otherwise known as “The Sergison GREEN ROUTE – The family fun route of just 10.5 miles”
All I can say is that there will be some tired legs out there !! From the roundabout at Burgess Hill tip most the way to Hanlye Lane in Cuckfield is an ascent that keeps the legs toiling and the chest tight.
Saying this, it does have the fun of the descent of Hanlye Lane and Balcombe Road 🙂
The route takes you from the Broadway down to the Railway Station and back up to the Sergison by the Police Station.
From here you head towards Burgess Hill on Isaacs Lane, when you reach theroundabout by the tip at Burgess Hill you turn right to head for Ansty and Cuckfield.
This is the “slog” section as you ride up to Ansty, gaining a brief respite as you head to the Cuckfield bypass before hauling your way through the village to Hanlye Lane.
Here you can whizz downhill to Balcombe Road and again whizz down to Mill Green Road.
At this point I deviated off and road into Lindfield via Hickmans Lane to the turnaround point
I then returned to the Heath climbing Oathall Road (yes I have no marbles)
I rode across town and then returned via the Broadway
