Lincolnshire

[Brian G]

My wife will be going down to Lincolnshire in the spring for a week or so to
do some research and I'm thinking of going as well, but in my case for some
cycling in an area I've never been to before.

Does anyone have any favourite or recommended day or half day routes in that
area? I plan to take my hybrid bike, so road, track or old gent's off-road
are all possible.

Not sure where we'll be based, maybe Skegness way.

TIA

Head into the wolds in that case. Mildly lumpy, with many pretty villages to
choose from. Binbrook in particular is quite charming. If you can avoid the
major A-roads do so for the Lincolnshire driver is not renowned for his
adherence to the law and is both fast and careless.

Yes, I live about 10 miles form the Wolds and agree wholeheartedly
........ especially about Lincolnshire drivers .......... very very
poor!!

Lots of 'back ways' though to enjoy .......... visit some of the
nature reserves. Watch the road idiots !!

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll spend some time over the winter with
the maps. As for the local drivers, it sounds like I'll feel pretty much at
home!
