Tips from the Community
Snypedales Country Park is a good starting point for a Lincolnshire Wolds ride. Though the park is for walkers only, half a mile on road and you have access to bridleways and single track for much of your ride across multiple routes. It is £1 to park but you have toilets and a picnic area for after ride recovery. Terrain is challenging at an intermediate level. This route has one short segment (50 yards-ish) that were too steep for me to keep my front wheel grounded but that gets you to nice high ground with great views :-)

This is a section that is not easy to ride through, uphill riding in a corn field, the surface is loose soil boulder, you can not ride quickly over it, it does take effort and energy to pass through this location

Clear to see the tracks here, looking downhill slightly you can see the meandering wavy route ahead. The surfaces have been laid with hardcore recently (Sep 2024). Enjoyable to ride through and good scenery

Sir John Franklin was a polar explorer who perished in 1845 with 129 men on board two ships. They set off to find the North West Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Spilsby is not a big town, there are maybe two distinctive buildings and features in the town, one being the tidy church on Church Street, it looks good from the different roads surrounding it and from all angles
