Thanks Fred. I think I have done this route before with you. Mostly gravel, but some mud?

Hi Guys n Girls;
re the ride tomorrow he is a link to the route we are going to do;
think we will go from Heathfield to Hellingly
http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/700A2E3F-FB14-486A-BE9B-94E187740AB4/0/CuckooTrail.pdf
on page 2 there is a map of Heathfield there is a car park off of Station road near Newham
I am sure the resident PC geek called Hecalledmesteve can add a sat nav co-ordinate for this car park.
I think we will meet in the car park for a 10am for a 10-15am leave.
Any questions ask please on here. _________________ KTM Superdukes are awesome!!!!! and a Mille for a little scratching on a good day

Is the route suitable for my CB1300?
When I'm a bit fitter and have a suitable bike I'll come out and play, no money to buy one at the moment _________________

Now I am moer confused than normal.
Is the meeting point Marky Mark's / HCMG's or the one posted by Fred?
The last time we did this we went from the latter. |

Oh and Kate is working
I may still come, not had chance to replace my wheel bearings yet and I will only have a car if Kate cycles to work... _________________ It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. - Douglas Adams.

Two hours for the cycling would be plenty, just depends if you want refreshments at the halfway point ( you would need to go to Hailsham for that). _________________ It's all down to quality of life ! |

looking at the map there are two car parks on this trail in Heathfield area (which way add a bit of confusion) but which ever one people manage to find they all lead onto same trial so no worries, most have my mobile number anyhow
see you later _________________

Was well impressed to see you there Duncan...... I even commented to Madam as you all rode off, on how much slimmer you were looking as well
Good to see everyone and good on you Marc for the long drive down... 13 Boxhill Peeps at Wesson..... not bad eh
OK OK...... so what if six of us were on motorbikes and cars _________________ Boxhill Chippendales

252 miles by car for 15.64 miles of cycling! Was it worth it? Hell Yes.
A great morning, thanks for the organisation V, MM, HCMS and F. A reverse star burst: several car parks suggested as meeting points, however, we all ended up at the same one! It was also good to alter the route from that before - good idea MM.
Well done Duncan on getting on a bike, shame on those that dropped out.
Also good to see the motorbikers and car drivers at the lunch stop. Even if some have gone soft, eh V?
In fuel terms, the Landy used 9 gallons of diesel, I used one Big Boy breakfast. This was offset by Land Rover planting enough trees until the car has done 60,000 miles and the 1,260 calories I burned off whilst cycling (according to my heat monitor and GPS). A carbon neutral if not methane neutral day.
Can't wait for the next one. |
