I'm trying to organise a bike ride from Skegenss back to Nottingham for our local football club, its for grassroots football and we need to raise £50k for our ground development, obviously this ride alone will not do it but we need to start somewhere

Does anybody have a route already planned or will I need to create my own route, TomTom states that it 79 miles

Any help you can give me is very much appreciated including how much I could expect from doing such a ride

Thanks very much

My Profile 		Sadly, I think most of the people who frequent the site are looking for information on routes, rather than sharing their own. Look forward to hearing how your ride went though. Good luck on it.

My Latest Route: Jul 2008 Great Glen Cycleway

Hi,

I spent a couple of hours over the weekend trying to plan a route. It seems to be very difficult to find a relatively straight route that doesn't use main roads. The only ones I could see needed many very frequent turns. I'm trying to go from north Nottingham, near the Seven Mile House on Mansfield Road ( 53° 2'59.11"N 1° 8'58.61"W ) to "anywhere" picturesque on the coast using the shortest distance. I'd be happy to collaborate on plotting if you'd like to suggest an interesting route off the main roads.

All the best,

Mike

My Profile 		I did this route 13 years ago, we used the main B roads without any problems. I suppose the traffic situation is a lot worse than back then.
we did notts to Grantham onto conningsby or sleaford then to the coast using an AA road map. I dont remember the milage, just remember it was very windy.

My Latest Route: Jun 2008 Hucknall Loop
