This is just a short ride due to me breaking the bike 🙁

The front gear change got damaged when my trouser leg got caught in it.

Had to come back with the bike sounding like a tank :-O

Returned to town via the village and the Balcombe Road – that road is an image of the Pleasure/Pain principle, one minute you are hammering downhill at 32 mph, then next its grab bottom gear and hit 2.5 mph as you crawl uphill :-O

Yet another 10 mile plus ride to consume the odd ounce (or more I hope) ridden with my neighbour Pete.

We headed up for Lindfield via  Denham Lane and then went for the hills to Ardingly.

Those hills were still tough, but they appeared to be easier, perhaps all my hard work is paying off 🙂 (wishful thinking no doubt)

Once in Ardingly turned to come back via the college and then headed up the first tough hill which seemed to be cleared much quicker – this time I could power up it standing rather than seated 🙂

We then headed over to Borde Hill and returned to the Heath,

From here we went back to Lindfield, and returned home via Gander Hill

A good ride, with good company and it felt like I am stronger than before 🙂

17/07/2012 - To Lindfield, Ardingly, Borde Hill, Lindfield, and back home
