England : Kent 9th March Kent Springtime ride

[Trickedem]

On 9th Mar, I am organising a reasonably gentle ride from the Gravesend Cyclopark. Exact route and details tbc. Start time 10am. Cafe stop, probably at Speedgate Farm. Distance will be about 30-35 miles, so ideal for beginners.

 

[Trickedem]

The start is conveniently located near to both Gravesend or Ebbsfleet stations and is very close to the M25/A2 junctions if you are driving.

I need to consult my tutorial timetable and consult with FD, but I'm very interested in joining you for this.

I'd like to have done this Tim, but it clashes with Stu's Southsea ride. If I don't get a day pass, I might come down for this.

Count me in Tim.
Is that the Speedgate Cafe at Brands Hatch?

That's the one, it is a horse riding place. I think we rode there once on a ride.

I'm a possible. My weekends are rapidly filling up and there's been talk of a Grantham and back ride but if I don't do that, I expect I'll be along for this one.

I would like to join you on this if you don't mind, what kind of speed do you keep?
distance is not a problem for me, but me nor my bike are built for speed

I thinki may have to pull out of this one this time,i have trapped nerves in my back and in constant pain,cant even ride 50 yards without being in agony,if its sorted in time then i'll still be along but not holding out much hope.
