I can't believe you ride out into the countryside just to take a dump.

You surely don't expect him to do it right outside his house do you?

 

[Doomanic]

Not since Neighbourhood Watch got involved anyway...

 

[Doomanic]

Besides, I do that at work. Might as well paid for it.

Today on the Viking Way, next to a cattle drink on the River Witham (no cattle for ages, hence no mud and plenty of grass).

If you zoom in on the sign post that says Public Bridleway, you will see the yellow emblem that signifies the Viking Way.

My bikes not much to look at so I'm including mostly scenic view.

Taken riding back home from elk trailing on that spit of land in the foreground. The furthest point of land is 80 miles away....North Coast of Oregon

Nice, where along the Viking way Steve?

Near Barkston, just north of Grantham, east of the East Coast main railway line and on the south bank of the river Witham. Mid way between the Frinkley and Mickling plantations.

That's only to within 100m - can't you be a bit more precise?

Easily, but I thought someone might take the piss!

Thanks Steve, I'll look it up, might be worth a long trek out, I'm near Bingham along the A52/46

No it's not worth a long trek out, there are better trails to ride that are closer for you.
This one for example:
Belvoir Loop - Mountain Bike Rides

You can move the map with your cursor to see the whole trail.

It starts at Stathern which as its only 4 miles from you, you may already know about the Belvoir Loop (linked above).

Thanks again Steve, I'll have a look, I've been riding the bridleways/tracks/old A46 to Newark and back at the moment. Could do with a change

Levo & Kenevo ride out

 

[Pabs]

The trail pixies seem to be operating closer to home currently, not going to complain!

Ahh, pass that way regularly.
(But at 120 mph on't way tu't smoke )

 

[Doomanic]

I went trail hunting today. I was successful!

Print off the map and take it with you, you will need it.
The start of the trail in Stathern is behind the Red Lion pub. It's called "Tofts Hill" but it really ought to be called "Effin Steep Hill" you will be really glad of that motor!

 

[steve_sordy]

Pumped my tyres up and went in my civvies today.

That's an old railway track bed, with a suitably decorated tunnel.

That section of the rail line is where they used to attempt the speed records (no bends). A number of years ago, I watched the Flying Scotsman (old style steam engine) recreate its record breaking run there.
No records broken that day unless it was for the number of anorak-wearing passengers and the number of spectators lining the track (well, not actually the track, but very close by).

Thanks Steve, Just had a look on Google maps, 10.7 miles to the Red Lion from my village, might start heading that way.

That may almost qualify as an epic ride. 21.4 miles there and back and 17 miles around the trail. You will do some climbing.
There is another route nearby (ish) called the Viking Challenge.

Thanks again Steve, 8.8 to that one, I will start heading in that direction to scope out the cycle routes, could do with some variety.
