Hello all. my name is Mark, I live in Lincolnshire (North East Lincolnshire to be precise).
I have cycled on various bikes over the years, a couple of years ago I acquired an old Raleigh road bike, so that is what I am currently using.
I cycle to work and back most days to give myself a bit of exercise, save on petrol and also reduce my carbon footprint. I have just notched up a half century, the cycling/exercise gives me an excuse to keep eating a 'normal' diet, otherwise my wife would probably ban cheese from the house.. however, the main reason I cycle is that i ENJOY it!
when i can - weekends and evenings in the summer, I get out and about mostly in the Lincolnshire wolds in the area between Laceby, Louth and Market Rasen, occasionally venturing further afield e.g. lincoln. the wolds has some excellent rides with very low traffic volumes.
I am planning a trip to York and back this summer (2011). Does anyone have any experience and/or tips for good routes between the Humber bridge and York? I prefer to stay on roads (as opposed to off-road tracks etc), but ideally those with little or no traffic.
If the York trip goes OK, I have an idea in my head that I would like to do Lands End to John O'groats in 2012.....
Keep on peddling
