I've been pretty much out of the saddle for 2yrs, just getting going again now. Feels like it'll be a long way back! But so pleased to be turning the cranks again

I did this route (not ColinJ's specifically) a few years back as a night ride, I can't remember the exact route but we we did go through Dalby forest around 0200/0300ish which was eerie and wonderful. Also finding a village pub still open at about 0100 for some refreshments was great. Its a good route with some hills to challenge but a lot of it flat-ish.
I wouldn't recommend going for a swim in the North Sea as I did to celebrate though, it was March and very cold!

I have taken part in the Scarborough ride, but not organised it!
I took over the Humber Bridge ride when the original organisers stopped doing it.
I've not done much cycling in recent years and trying to sell the joys of riding 100 miles to a chippy hasn't won me any fans, but this ride was one of my faves. Would do again, or at least, to the half way stop and get the train, otherwise I'll still be on the road gone midnight
