クロップウェルバトラーのおすすめライド

lovely canal bridge, head left along disused section of canal to pick up old railway line towards newark.

An easily spotted landmark when riding the lanes west of Grantham. There's a great flattish run from Harby through the vale to Bottesford or ride up (and down) onto the ridge on which the castle stands for some great, short climbs.

Tithby is a quaint and historic little village just south of Bingham. One of its unique features is a vintage AA road sign, mounted on a house wall, which gives distances to London, Nottingham, and Bingham. This old yellow sign is a reminder of early motoring history.

Colston Bassett Stilton is one of the finest traditional Stilton cheeses. It's produced here by the Colston Bassett Dairy, dating as far back as 1913. The diary has a shop where you can buy the cheese direct - it's known for its rich, creamy texture and well-balanced blue veining.

A great route but some sections are extremely muddy but great fun. Toft hill climb is one section that really works legs, slow and steady wins out

Cyclist friendly, loads of outdoor space out back. Good beer and pizza too.

Regularly explore this end of the Vale of Belvoir lane network and stop at the 'Dirty Duck' pub for lunch. See the duck ornament on the roof and you will understand the name!

Nice cafe, good value. Tucked away down a little industrial estate. Has a bike rack and big tables for larger groups.
