Off to a weekend house house party at Brackenborough Hall nr Louth this weekend. I may have a few hours free so thinking of taking a bike, thinking about the road bike due to the distinct lack of lumpy terrain in the area.
Where's good to ride to/around?

There is mtb stuff, LAMB will help you out. I don't do road but but there's plenty of rolling lanes round there, I'd head Caistor way on if it was me.

LAMB - www.louthnet.com/LAMB I am away this weekend, but post up on the Sunday thread and join a ride, or ask for suggestions. There is some reasonable stuff around, but you probably need some guidance to find it and link the sections together.

It was very flat and extremely wet! Pottered around for about 25miles before admitting to myself that i was soaked through and not really enjoying myself.
Would be nice to go back when its sunny though.

The wolds aren't flat although the highest hill is only about 170m above sea level. You can get quite a bit of climbing in if you go the right route.

It was a soggy weekend, I'm impressed you rode at all. Must've gone east if you didn't find ANY hills 🙂

Should have headed onto the wolds, it's not been the driest few days round here. If you are coming this way again pop another thread up, few of us could go for a ride round the more interesting bits.

Horncastle it's better than Louth 😛
