Joined: 26 Apr 2010 Posts: 2 Bike: | Hi there I'm looking at cycling to work and I live south of Newark, Notts and my workplace from June will be in Worksop. Realistically I won't be doing that every day, but I want to drive part way and then cycle the rest, say have a journey of 15 mile to/from work. People might think that'll I'll just keep going to work with my bike on the car, but can you imagine the amount of abuse I would get if I did that. I know the National Route 6 goes from Hucknall to Worksop, any ideas where I should eith pick that up, or should I go up the A616 - anyone do that route? Is there a quieter country lane route out there? all thoughts welcome Cheers John |

Cross over the A614 and you could park the car around here, there is a Macdonalds and 2 filling stations so plenty of room. It is then a nice country road over to Worksop. Check it out on your map. Good luck and hope it works out.. Youngpensioner.. |
