12/05/2016 Double St Anns Hill, a sunken manhole, Addlestone, New Haw and home

Thursday, May 12th, 2016

Went out for a morning ride post holiday

I went up Hanger Hill to the station then down St Georges Avenue to Egerton Road

I rode through Gower Road to Queens Road and on to Monument Green

I turned into Oatlands and rode to Grotto Road which I rode through to Portmore Park Road

I then rode to Balfour Road and turned to ride over Woburn Hill to Chertsey

I rode through Chertsey and headed for St Anns Hill, this time riding the shorter, easier way.

but then I turned and did the reverse of the steeper way to loop round, then I again ascended the easier way

I then rode over the M25 to Hardwick Lane and turned into the lane

Here there was a sunken manhole, full of water, which I hit, the result 1 sore finger, 1 sore ankle , a slightly sore chest and possible the front wheel of the bike needs dressing 🙁

Once I got the chain on I rode down to pick up Green Lane and then on to Addlestone

I then rode through to New Haw and on to the Brooklands Road

I ascended the road to the station and returned home down Hanger Hill
