THE ROUTE : https://www.thekingjohnway.com/
Embark on our 300-mile loop through Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire. Experience serene rides on quiet lanes, avoiding busy roads. Encounter off-road sections suitable for most bike types. The emphasis is on fun – not an assault course!
Take as long as you like, or opt for a road-only alternative and aim for a course record.
Roy Redman from the Ride With Roy (and Wendy!) YouTube channel has created the King John Way. The route is available in both a Road and Tour version; I rode the Road version.
Roy has also created an extensive collection of routes for you to explore the history and charm of the Lincolnshire countryside.

Nice one 👍
Good stuff. I'm a big fan of road based bikepacking. I'll put this on the ever increasing list.
Right past the end of my road! Looking forward to riding parts of this route this summer.
Thanks for this – definitely one to do as I live just over the Humber bridge so local too!
Great sound track
So….
Is it recommended? You've not said all that much about it TBH
Brilliant video Richard
Disappointed to see that the route doesn't go near Kings Clipstone where the the remains of King John's palace is, right near Sherwood Forest. I enjoy the video's thank you for taking the time to make them. Have to say though, you didn't look like you were really enjoying it and looked very tired. Look after yourself and perhaps have a break? Thanks
Great video Richard, hope you are getting some recovery time in.
