Midlands Tick

By James Simpson | on February 11, 2011 | 2 Comments
Midlands

The Midlands tick takes you on a scenic journey on the outskirts of Nottingham and Leicester. This route has everything from long straights to tight twisty roads (what we like :D). You also pass two old RAF bases (you will probably see the odd couple of gliders flying around / landing on the runways).

    Not a bad sequence of roads with some nice elevation changes and sections of good visibility. However area is full of geriatrics from local villages so beware of getting in a caravan of slow movers for a few miles. Also watch the speed bumps in Uppingham!
