Hull to Hornsea old railway line bike route time lapse

[andriusvirbickas]

is this route ok for a road bike with 700x23 tyres? Thanks

[HighTreason610]

I've cycled this track many times, I planned on doing something like this but in about four parts, I used to be able to get from Preston Road to Hornsea in less than an hour. It'll never happen now because my mountain bike is past it's working life, so I'm glad that somebody (You) made this instead. You never know, you might have cycled past me.

Also, LMAO at "Pikeys" - many a time I would get to the Bransholme bit and see burning stuff and have drunken chavs yelling at me, ah, Hull.

Nice work. A guy called Kevin Walton did this back in about 98 too, it ended up on Channel Four's "Short & Curlies" strand but haven't seen it since.

Nice vid/caps. If you do it again, may I suggest doing the proper route through Sutton!

[DirkSchooner]

Isn't that Sutton at about 30 seconds? where there is the underpass and roundabout at the top, and Sutton hospital? the line branches there or near, if I was coming the other way and carried straight on down the line would end up at the main dock, as you can see I am approaching from Stepney area.

This was a super video! It was so enjoyable to see the old country again. I grew up in Sutton- on-Hull. thank you!

[DirkSchooner]

Well, somebody promted me to try it again!

[vincesapplemac]

So how much weight did you lose on the way

[DirkSchooner]

Not enough, you can see that at the sea front. I went on my 'racing' bike and got rattled about too much, now all my bones are aching.

[vincesapplemac]

So did you go the BC this year ? looked around to see if I could see you, but no sight of you

[DirkSchooner]

Nope was in France (see photos)! Next year tho, I missed being there.
