lived there a bit, not anymore though pete, prob was a tad unfair of me to put that actually, but the lads i know from there, highlight of their ride out was practising getting their knee down on beckingham roundabout! then having a good conference about it Laughing even the cops don't chase you in worksop!

the roads to willingham woods are awsome, watch out for the Police though, on the first bend up to market rasen after the straight bit from bishop bridge, seen them there a few times now. and also they hide on bikes in the de aston school Wink

It gets better!

Follow the 607 through Grantham and follow signs out to Bourne. Now that gets fun!

That part of the 607 is good, but there isn't much of it.

You can tell when the roads get good because there's those "Don't kill yourself bikers!" signs everywhere.

Are you talking about the B1176 from the roundabout at the end of the high dyke to Corby Glen? If your not then try it sometime.

and yes them 'great biking road' signs are most helpful

I don't know tbh, I followed someone from Grantham to Bourne, so I wasn't really paying attention to directions.

It rocked though!

its not worksop its a place the other side and they ride out from a honda showroom, billingham (or something like that). as said ive never tried it so dont know.

a couple of guys i ride with from retford are fast guys, ones on a busa and can corner pegs down through the twisties as well as the next guy..

anyway im on a zx10r and i can ride pretty quick when i want although i went on a mundane ride a week ago sunday around derbyshire and tbh, apart from the pain in my shoulders and back (from some of the more uneven roads and slow speeds) i really enjoyed the journey.

edit, forgot to mention but yeah look out for the police on willingham route, theres just been a write up of the bikers caught along the A631 and there were several caught above 100, one at 130 and some in the 90's.

2nd edit, https://www.thisislincolnshire.co.uk/education/Seven-bikers-caught-riding-90mph-single-day/article-321426-detail/article.html
