Went out for the first ride of the year as the weather was looking delightful this morning
Rode up to the a272 and then down to Burgess Hill on Isaacs Lane
Went round the roundabout and headed for Ansty
Rode through the village then branched off on the bridleway (not one of my best ideas)
The bridleway was muddy and in places I was wheelspinning – novel on a bicycle !
Eventually reached Deaks Lane and rode to the Staplefield Road
Rode into Cuckfield and headed onto the Ardingly Road
Whizzed down Hanlye Lane and took the Balcombe Road right through to Lindfield via Hickmans Lane
Went up an over the 2 hills then turned into Stonecross Lane then Plummerden Lane
Carried on through Walstead back to Lindfield
Passed the Pond and Common before riding over Gander Hill
Returned home via Mill Green Road
