On Sunday August 14th.
OK - so seaside air is supposed to be beneficial.
This ride is aimed at getting a day-full of it.
Day-full = just shy of 60 miles.
Train leaves London Victoria at 08.05, arrives Canterbury East at 09.32.
We head out from there along the traffic lite Stour Valley, any serious climbing being done and dusted as we leave Canterbury.
There's a cake / tea stop at the garden centre at Preston (at around ten miles) if we want it.
From then on it's pretty much downhill all the way (almost) to the coast at Sandwich and from then on we follow the (Viking Trail) route around the coast to Faversham and the train back to Londres.
Loads of rail-bail places en route, once we reach the coast.
Lots of very different resorts we pass through.
95% on tarmac or concrete - there's some optional on otherwise - perfectly doable on 23's.
Pace will be conversational to easy to walking - we'll be weaving in and out of folk outside of their beach huts for significant sections of this ride.
Loads of opportunities for bites / lunch as we pass through resorts. Ramsgate rears it's head as a favourite for lunch at the mo - but we can see how we get on.
Short notice, I know.
Sorry.
