6½ miles (11km)

West of the HubThis is a slightly shorter ride from the Cycle Hub in Grimsby. Remember that even if you don’t have a bike or yours needs some TLC then you can hire one from the Hub for the day, they’ll also be able to sort out any problems you’ve got with your bike. The Cycle Hub is the newest addition to the railway station which has stood in the centre of Grimsby for over 160 years. That’s not quite as long at St James’s Church has been around for! The route soon takes you past this Anglican Church which was built in around 1114 and is the only parish church in the country with its own Choir School. Please note the route past the church is shared with pedestrians so please take extra care and give way to people on foot if necessary.

On leaving the church square you head out through the town and over Cleveland Bridge. This bridge once carried the vehicles on the Grimsby to Immingham tramway, the terminus for which used to be next to Corporation Bridge. The tramline opened in 1911 and finally closed half a century later when buses took over from the trams.

Further along the route you’ll travel through the village of Great Coates. The parish church dates from around 1200 and is the site of the Coates family grave, after whom the village is believed to be named. Further along Great Coates Road the route diverts away from the main road and travels along the River Freshney, the river rises at the edge of the Wolds and meanders through the town before discharging into the Humber near Grimsby’s docks.

Much of this ride is on quieter roads and where there are sections of dedicated cycle path you are advised to use them.

Before setting off

There are loads of benefits associated with using your bike instead of the car. People who cycle regularly are fitter and have a reduced risk from conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Your mental health and sense of wellbeing can also be greatly improved by going for a ride. Cycling its cheap, can save you time and is good for the environment. With the “Cycle to Work” scheme there’s even help with buying a new bike and accessories, check with your HR or Personnel team at work to see if they are signed up.

• It’s well worth giving your bike a quick once-over before setting off, check your gears and brakes are in good condition, your tyres are pumped up properly and if you’re going out at night that your lights work.

• Check the weather before setting off and dress accordingly.

• Check that the route is suitable for you and your party.

• If possible let someone know where you are going and make sure that you carry a fully charged mobile phone.

• Carrying a small cycle toolkit and puncture repair kit can save a long walk home if something goes wrong.

• If you’re going on a longer ride then carrying a drink and an energy snack is advisable
