Oh very posh, I'm quite envious. Your bar tape wrapping is a disgrace though
I was thinking just that on the way in to work. I've even bought some new, just too lazy to fit it!

@dan_bo... do you fancy reposting the road that you tried to offer us a while back?
did you know it was the very same road as my last entry?
The nuclear power station at Heysham?
Anyway... The road is the A588 north of Cockerham. (I never go that way to Glasson Dock - I always take the quiet road from Galgate, with its unexpected little climb!)

I'll have a think about my next road and try to post one tomorrow (Sunday).
...or was it a crazy coincidence?

Lol. I missed the last one completely so didn't even realise!

your section if road was literally about ten minutes' ride away from mine! I still didn't recognise yours though, despite having ridden it countless times. Too busy doing shoulder checks on that stretch... it's prone to some manic driving

That's why I use the quiet road from Galgate!
So, no takers on mine at all?
First clue then: the road is descending in a generally Westerly direction from above 400m altitude.

Damn, I wasn‘t far away and was just trying to nail it down, recognised mountain profiles straight away.
Well done, no idea why you thought to look for a route connecting those two places mind 😉
Brilliant road, I'd never done it before, highly recommended.

Absolute ****** - I had found it 30 minutes ago just as my phone rang (I cheated and looked in Your Ride Today)! I thought to myself that someone else would sneak in while I was talking...
Yes, that looks a fantastic road.

To me it looks more like Yorkshire than Hertfordshire... but other than that, clueless

I’ve searched almost every back lane around the Stow-on-the-Wold/Rollright Stones environs but can’t find a match.
