Potentially up for this one if the back ache goes away, guess I could always bail out halfway if I'm struggling . . .

I've had a change of mind!! The new mind works better than the old one (not difficult) and I'm postponing my birthday by a day. Is anyone up for riding back?

Don't worry Clive - we'll be taking it slow & steady. Not as fast as a hare, but not as slow as a tortoise.

I've had a change of mind etc - anyone want a ticket from Dover...
Only joking Big M - your birthday means a lot 
Tip: Get a train back. Arm warmers optional.

Will the halfway pub be anywhere near a train station?

Yes it will - there'll be plenty of bail-out points.
I haven't quite finalised the route, but it's likely to be the traditional (Shooters Hill) version of the FNRttC route to Whitstable, with a surprise turn thrown in at Chatham, plus a detour away from the centre of Gravesend, and then turning south-east before Faversham for a country pub lunch, then up onto the Downs on country roads towards Dover.

Hi,
I'd like to join you on this if I may but I've no idea what speed you guys normally ride at. If you can let me have a gpx of the route, if the pace is too hot for me I will at least be able to get there eventually in my own time. The distance is no problem. Fish & chips on the beach sounds lovely.

Ah, Louise, this is one of the 'Adam's* Amazing Adventures' (Series 2011) - you'll have no problems.

Capel's not that bad- like Box Hill, it's a grind, but a pretty gentle one. You still might need a breather at the memorial though (and apart from being well worth a visit anyway, the views are fantastic).
