Tennyson Tour

This ride is a challenging test to the fittest, mostly in the southern part of the Lincolnshire wolds. Average speed around the 13-15mph. It's mostly down quiet roads with very little traffic and passes through delightful villages as well as passing Alfred Lord Tennysons home.It has just over 3000 ft of climbing over the 45 miles. It has three short but very sharp climbs with a couple ramping up to 15-18% for a few yards, benefit is of course some nice descents. You will need to be pretty fit for this and in good health as the climbs will make you dig deep into your reserves! Suitable only for road bikes and hybrids and helmets are a must as speeds over 30mph on the descents are normal. After completion you can have refreshments at the Jubilee Park Café or try one of several coffee shops in the village.
