11/06/2016 Loops round town, and I found part of King Henry’s Oatlands Palace

Saturday, June 11th, 2016

Went out for an afternoon ride looping round town – not concentrating on distance, but trying to ride hard

I rode down Hanger Hill to Monument Green and turned to ride down Monument Hill

I flew down the hill then plodded through town to Heath Road

I then powered up the hill to the station taking 7 seconds off my best time

I rode back down Hanger Hill to Monument Green and turned into Oatlands Drive

I rode to Grotto Road and went down on the hunt for the arch from Oatlands Palace

I took a wrong turn and ended up riding Monument Road to Monument Hill

I powered up the hill taking 15 seconds off my best time 🙂

At Monument Green I again turned into Oatlands Drive then Grotto Road

I then turned into Palace Drive and located Tower Walk and the arch 🙂

I then made my way to Grotto Road and on to Portmore Park Road

I rode round to Heath Road and again ascended to the station although this was more leisurely

At the station I turned into St Georges Avenue and rode round to Queens Road

I rode to monument Green and ascended Hanger Hill (yep gave it the beans again) to home.
