Please don’t use these fake cobwebs , they are a absolute death trap for garden birds.

Yesterday I had to cycle a stretch of the beautiful Grantham canal on NCN15. Wow, what a stunning cycle path on a fantastic stretch of NCN finishing at the atmospheric Woolsthorpe lock flight near the equally welcoming Dirty Duck Pub located on Duck Lane in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir. For anyone wanting a great ride out from Grantham for a pub lunch in a stunning dog friendly Inn then this is the spot. Camping and caravaning and massive beer garden and on the canal side. Do it!!!! (About 6km canal ride/walk from Grantham Premiere Inn carpark)

Pedal Lincolnshire are offering a level one ‘Roadside Repair’ 1-day bicycle maintenance course that covers roadside emergency bicycle repairs and maintenance, that can be completed without the need of using a professional cycle workshop, either at home or when out riding, using just a few basic tools.
The aim is to help each rider get more from their bike and become more self-sufficient and give them the confidence to ride further afield with less worry about becoming stranded..
It is meant as a starting point for those unfamiliar with cycle repair to gain the confidence to be able to tackle basic emergency repair jobs at the side of the road, learn some new skills, pick up tips and also learn which jobs would be better performed by a qualified cycle mechanic.

It also allows those attending an opportunity to handle and use a number of key tools and to learn which works best with their bike and what ideally should be carried in their emergency tool caddy.

This course is usually run in Nocton village hub (LN4 2BH) and requires 3 participants to run. For more information please contact Damon to discuss your bespoke booking for you and your cycling buddies.
