Anyone know any good routes? Rutland Water really doesn't cut it....

    Rides that don't need me to put the bike in the car really. I'm not over fit at the mo either so a 10 - 15 mile loop starting in Stamford would be good, then some guys to ride with as well!

    I think that you're pretty much limited to field's edge bridleways around there - and they're going to be quite muddy at this time of year. You could try the Torpel Way on the other side of Barnack & Ufford towards P'boro and Southey Woods which are OK in summer - but watch out for the doggers in Southey Woods though....

    There are also some bridleways west of Stamford that I haven't tried in the Ketton / Easton on the Hill area because they don't seem that easy to get to from P'boro without a fair bit of on-road riding.

    I'd recommed getting an OS Explorer map of the area and exploring.

    I'm in P'boro by the way....Andy

    Thanks Andy,

    I've just moved back to Stamford. Last time I was here I tried a couple of bridleways west of Stamford across to Ketton and they were bordering on unrideable in Winter, there seems to be a lot of clay in the soil round here. Will dig out the OS maps and see what else is aorund. I'll let you know if I find anything worth riding
