30/09/2013 Traffic jam, Cuckfield, Traffic Jam, Lindfield, Gander Hill, and home

Monday, September 30th, 2013

Went out for an evening ride thinking I’ll get a swift 8 miles done – guess who didn’t bank on Captain Kretin’s traffic mismanagement.

Rode up to the A272 and joined the queue for the roadworks by the Police Station

Once past that delightful stretch of roadworks I ploughed on to Cuckfield

In the village I headed for Ardingly Road with plans of whizzing down Hanlye Lane

fat chance, it was solid to the Balcombe Road I was the quickest on the descent riding down the middle of the road 🙂

Once on the Balcombe Road I went through to Lindfield (via Hickmans Lane), now in normal traffic 🙂

Did the turnaround by the church and rode past the pond and common

Went over Gander Hill and returned home via Mill Green Road
