What route do you use lowey?

Sidlesham to Chichester – Road Grey Spesh Langster/ XC – 96 Kona Kilauea

IHN – Set off from churchdown between 7.30 – 7.45 and then from town at 5.
I’ve been racking my brain to see if I recognise your bike. What colour frame? and when do you leave C’down? do you go down the old glos rd aswell?

I set off at 8, but I’d be coming back about 5.

Out – Past the airport, left at the lights past the House In The Tree, Kingsditch estate, Swindon Village, Cleeve.

Back – Past the racecourse, town centre, Lansdown Road, GCHQ, Old Glos Road, home (occasionally detour down the cyclepath that runs along the side of the airport).

Silver frame, purple forks, bag like this:

Oh, and if you set off at 7:30, you may see me walking my little black dog 🙂

Same outward journey but mis-timed. Occassionaly I run late and leave at that time, perhaps I’ll run late a couple more times and belt down the road yelling ‘F***k nuts’.
Theres alot of ambling commuters that use those roads but not many that go down past the house in the tree. (had a nasty accident there a couple years ago and they shut that road down for a bit at rush hour). I’m not as quick as a couple of the lycra roadies I see but most the others I nip past.
Ah now IHN do you live in the ‘village’ or in Churchdown :D?

What was the accident? Someone coming out of a sideroad not see you?

I’m near Somerfield, so not one of the inbred ‘local village for local people’ weirdos. Oh, sorry, are you? 🙂

LOL, nope I live the wrong side of the tracks as it were.
I cut through St johns av. so I’ll keep an eye out.
The accident was coming from tewks rd to the pub and I over took a tractor into a oncoming white van. holds hand upyes officer my fault.
Was on wifes motorbike at the time.
