Revolting & miserable ride to Stone

Very cold ride with almost continuous rain. Lots of standing water meant that with nearly 8hrs in the saddle, everything was wet and at 2C with an 18mph headwind for the return leg, progress was slow and miserable.

Ride to Thorne Cafe around Doncaster

A 125 mile northwards loop with a hilly out leg through the Notts mining villages and a sling-shot around Doncaster to Thorne Cafe - the very cheap and cheerful cyclist haven of Humberside. The return leg takes a very flat route south to Bawtry, Retford, Ollerton and Papplewick.
