The Three Minsters - Grimsby

This is a fundraising ride from the Grimsby Minster to Hull Minster via the Humber Bridge then on to the beautiful Beverley Minster before returning to Grimsby Minster.
The route is along quiet country lanes, B roads and, on occasions, main roads with great views from the Humber Bridge. It is generally a flat ride but there is a sharp hill on the return journey as the ride leaves Barton.
The roads are generally in good condition with a few potholes here and there out in the countryside but the road in some parts out of Hull to Beverley is a bit rough and bumpy.
A refreshment stop will be at Simples Café, Hull (https://www.facebook.com/Simplescafehull/ ) which is situated in Trinity Square in the Old town with great views of Hull Minster. There are a few cycle racks located close by.
As the distance from Hull Minster to Beverley Minster is quite short there will be no refreshment break so the ride will circumnavigate the Minster before heading south back towards the Humber Bridge and the journey back to Grimsby. Riders may stop if they wish to take in the site and view the Minster if they so desire.
On reaching the Humber Bridge on the return journey riders, if they wish, may take a refreshment break before the final leg back. There are also toilet facilities close to the Tourist Information Point.
There is no cost to this ride but it is hoped that riders will make a donation to the fundraising pot. Money raised will be equally shared between Help For Heroes (https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk) and Sarah Robinson who has been selected to take part in the Invictus Games 2018. (https://www.invictusgames2018.org/the-games/the-story/) in 5 events one of which is cycling. At present Sarah only has a £125 Halfords bike. It is hoped, that through various fundraising events, that enough can be raised to allow Sarah to purchase a more competitive bike.
Sarah is a serving British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer from Hull. She is at present attached to 147 Field Company REME which has detachments in Hull and Scunthorpe. Sarah’s story; https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/see-the-difference/stories/sarah-robinson/
