27/04/2013 – The fun run route with Pete (this time with the racing bike)

Saturday, April 27th, 2013

Went out to revisit the fun run route with the racing bike, wanted to see if it (& I) could manage the hills.

Rode down Perrymount then up to the A272 by the Sergison without problem 🙂

Shot down to the Isaacs Lane roundabout where the bike hit the dizzy heights of 30 mph 🙂

Rode down Issacs Lane to the Burgess Hill tip roundabout, again without proglems

Rode up to Ansty where I had to push the bike, couldn’t make it up the hill – found out the bike had not gone down to 1st, it was in 2nd – grrrrrrrrrrrrrr 🙁

Rode from Ansty through Cuckfield to Hanlye Lane

Went down the Lane and Balcombe Road to Mill Green Road

Rode up Perrymount to the shops then returned home.

I feel I can do the whole ride on the racer, just need to get the damn thing in 1st for the hill !
