I think you all give me too much credit.Planning this ride was very easy for me. I know the route, all I have to do is send my entry off and that's about it really. It's not a chore, it's what I like doing.
The ride up to the turning point at Howden was mainly on narrow lanes, nearly all flat and very pleasant, but it seemed to just go on forever. I kept trying to do some mental maths as to how far it was, but couldn't seem to get a sensible answer, so I just kept pedalling. We passed Thorne Rugby Club which is used as a control on LEL, then through Thorne and onto Howden where we stopped at the CO-OP to get a receipt.
Did you use this endless flat'n'straight bit (which is on the LEL route)?Yes. We followed the LEL route from Gainsborough to Howden and back.
