I regularly cycled the Lincolnshire Wolds and even went on a 5 day trip to the North York's Moors with my oldest brother, we took the ferry from New Holland to Hull because the Humber Bridge was not yet completed.

I got curious, the bike I had was a Raleigh Olympus bought from (and don't ask me how I remember this) Sydney Dines's in Waltham (pretty sure) I rode it home to Caistor thus tackling Cabourne Hill on the maiden voyage (so to speak)

Cabourne hill is a good one, I cycled from Caistor to Blundell Park for a game once upon a time, can't remember if we won, I would have been 14 or 15 at the time, no bike helmets of course!

Lincoln City's new shirt honours mathematician George Boole Binary code spelling out We Are Imps celebrates the importance of mathematician George Boole's work.

I teach computer science in Ontario and I'm a Lincolnshire Yellowbelly so obviously this caught my eye:
