Went for a wander round from work through Brooklands Industrial Park and the museum with Barry and Morgan.
This was a shortish wander to see the local area, there will be more wanders and the distance will rise.
We walked along Locke King Road, then alongside the railway to the museum.
From here we went into the industrial estate before passing Proctor & Gamble
Then headed up the Brooklands Road and back to the office.
Did this little ride before weighing myself – hope it’s shaved a bit off my bulk 🙂
Rode up to the A272 along the Broadway
Rode to Cuckfield, turning right at the centre of the village
Descended Hanlye Lane and the Balcombe Road
Went up and over Gander Hill
Returned home via Sydney Road and then up Perrymount Road
Just weighed myself, have put a pound on !! (gonna cry in the corner)
Yep, have done ye old favourite Walstead run, although I added a few yards to it 🙂
Rode onto Oathall Road and down to Lindfield, went round Hickmans Lane
Then went on to Walstead and picked up Plummerden Lane
Carried on to Ardingly and then enjoyed the long down hill stretch past the college
Rode across to Borde hill and on to Cuckfield
Rode back to town and took a detour down past Sainsburys before returning home via the Broadway
Went out to clock up the first ride on the folding bike and to see how it is.
This can be considered as a shake down ride, problems have been noted !
Rode up Perrymount to the A272
Rode across to Cuckfield and round the village centre before returning home
Now for the list of issues:
On the plus side it appears to change gear well and I notice the folding clamp is getting easier 🙂
[please note I had to edit the figures on the graph as the GPS didn’t start logging until I got to Cuckfield – ho hum]
went for a long ride out past Plumpton for the first time
Rode out to Ditchling Common and turned left
Rode out to Plumpton and carried on through the village.
When I eventually reached Underhill Lane I turned for Westmeston and carried on riding the lane
Continued through to Clayton and headed for Hassocks then Burgess Hill
After going round the bypass struggled up Isaacs Lane
Returned home via the A272 and the Broadway
Here’s the main part of Underhill Lane
