A good route to avoid the usual holiday maker route to Skegness, watch for speed cameras in Anwick, Conningsby & Tattershall, there are also a few mobile units set-up along the route on bank holidays - these are usually between Sleaford & Conningsby, as this is also part of the route back from Cadwell Park. The road from Anwick is straight and long (just watch the odd bump) once in North Kyme there are sections of 40 upto Billinghay and just beyond due to accident rate and deep ditches but again the road is open and flat and providing no traffic nice section for fast ride. There is a nice bike friendly pub at Reevesby, this section of road is quieter but plenty of farm vehicles during certain times of the year, also take in the spectacular Lancaster bomber at East Kirby. Once in East Keal join the A16 (which has just undergone some major resurfacing), there is a Petrol Station and shop at Partney (you can divert to Mablethorpe here if you wish, another excellent road with some superb twisty sections). After Partney head towards Sausthorpe, there are 50 sections but in quiet periods an excellent road but becareful the wooded sections make visibility limited at times. The leg from Gunby to Skegness is fast thanks to the new bypass, but watch quick overtakes as this road has several central refuges which suddenly appear. After you arrive in Skegness head toward the Pier as this always a popular place with bikers and there is usually free parking available. Happy riding and keep it rubber side down
