sutrans routes I feel happier tackling on a very strong bike with fat
tyres.
This weekend was a classic.I cycled 20miles in an hour and a half
including 20mins sheltering from rain, then on the way back thought I
would try the pretty way through sherwood pines on NCNroute 6.I spent
an hour and a half just trying to find my way out of the woods.Signs
were hopelessly intermittent and hard to follow and once off route of
course there are no more of your signs until you happen to cross the
route where there is a sign. All the people I met were as lost as I
was.The tracks were in a right state, there having been a car rally
held on them.I wish I'd had my camera, but you can probably imagine
trying to ride a road bike with 23mm tyres on churned mud, rocks,
ruts, and where the track was intact it seemed to be made of railway
gravel. Not a practical transport solution.
