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

Sunday, May 1st, 2016

Went out for a morning ride to burn off a few calories – not enough as I found out later 🙁

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

I went through Gower Road to Queens Road and on down to Monument Green

I turned into Oatlands and rode to Grotto Road where I cut through to Portmore Park Road via Thames Street

I rode round to Balfour Road and rode over to Chertsey and aimed for St Anns Hill

After ascending the steeper route I rode across to Lyne and then to Chobham via Longcross

Now I rode to Woking town centre and picked up the towpath for Basingstoke Canal

I rode along this to the River Wey towpath and on to Byfleet and the A245

Now I rode to the Brooklands Road and ascended to the station

finally I returned home down Hanger Hill.

I was feeling great until I got on the scales and saw I had GAINED 3lbs 🙁
