Hulver, that's about 170 miles. Great if someone else is doing it so I have company but have you got a plan for places to stop off and stuff?
I've got a route from Sheffield to York with a cafe stop. It's the one the Sheffield CTC used to use when they were riding to the York cycle show. I can send you a gpx route if you'd like to see it. If you want to join me we'd have to arrange a meeting point, I'm setting off from Mosborough and won't be going into the city centre.
I'm setting off fairly early on Friday morning (9-9:30 ish) so that I can get to my parents house (copmanthorpe) and have a nap in the afternoon before the FNRttC. As you might remember, I'm not the fastest rider. The route is fairly flat after about 25 miles though.
As to the ride back from Cleethorpes, I was going to reverse the route and hope that some of the stops on the way down would still be open. If I'm on my own I'm hoping it's a nice day, and a kip in a field wouldn't be out of the question. Riding with other people is enough of a boost to keep me awake though.
I've got all day, and I'm not in any rush. Although I would like to have a look around the Cycle Show on Saturday.
I'm not setting off back to Sheffield until Sunday, or even Monday depending how knackered I am.
I'm looking forward to it.

As my bike is still out of action (missed the postie with my spare parts this morning!!
) I may well end up cycling to York, but I'll be looking to do it in under 3 hours without a stop to catch up on missed training this week. Practically bouncing off the walls from a lack of riding !
That's a little bit fast paced for me
