Glorious weather greeted the three riders that turned out for a day in the Lincolnshire Wolds. We headed up a spookily quiet A17 as far as Boston where we peeled off to take the B roads through Kirton, Coningsby and on to Horncastle. From there we headed up towards Bardney to our first coffee stop at the Bardney heritage centre. This is a privately owned museum showcasing the history of the village with an underlying railway theme. They also hire out cycles and have overnight accommodation. After getting our caffeine fix we headed out towards Wragby and then onto Market Rasen. The A631 which leads to the picnic area at Willingham is heavily regulated now with a newly introduced 50mph limit enforced by average speed cameras. I’ll leave you to form your own opinions as to why the authorities have considered these measures necessary.
Willingham is an extremely popular bikers haunt, it has everything that motorcyclists seek - ample parking, a toilet, and a café all situated within some of the best biking roads that Lincolnshire has to offer. After being treated to a bacon bap, thank you mike, we headed back home via more fast, undulating roads to Boston where we made the third compulsory stop of the day at the Sportsbikeshop. It was grand day out, with relatively light traffic for most of the trip and good company.
The next scheduled ride out is on the 14th July to Reepham Station, so fingers crossed for similar weather.
Cheers for now
