Brilliant ride with good tarmac apart from 1 mile at Bardney.Suitable for mountain and road bikes Just have to push through central Lincoln or preferably don't cycle this section. Together with the 11.7 miles of old track heading west out of Lincoln over the Trent, this can make a 60 miles circuit of good off road cycling from Tuxford to Boston

Description of gravel not accurate, at on point you have to cycle around the side of a wheat field, very rutted, also nettles about 3 feet high in places. When you turn of the road on the byway it is blocked across the field with electric fences for the horses. Not a very nice ride.

The cycle track along the A46 is very narrow and can be difficult to manage.
