The bridlepath between Burton Upon Stather and Flixborough is doable on a road bike however I would not do it again, I would stick to the top road.

Can be done on road bike with care, section after North Kelsey along River Ancholme, Carr Lane and Starholme Lane is mostly loose gravel.
The section between the two waypoints is a green lane, slippery grass with lots of hawthorn hedge, managed ok with slick tyres.
Bit sticky along the Humber, but ok on old mountain bike with slicks, full mudguards and no suspension.
