It’s time to increase those km’s and begin to test those legs. The Kent adventure continues. Route is 88.82km with 882m of elevation, finished off with coffee and cake!
The route will take us via the Pilgrims Way into the Garden of England. The route will have its challenges and a smattering of Kent Hills thrown in. There will be an element of main road but we will soon get you back on the lanes of Kent, so you take in the natural beauty of the area. We will finish our ride passing the iconic Chartwell House before taking on the last climb of the day and then descend into Westerham and back to The Velo Barn for some well earned coffee and cake – they do a really fabulous blueberry & lemon Victoria sponge!

Meet: 07:30

Expected finish/coffee: 11:30

Glen is usually behind the scenes making sure that the Hotchillee Ride Captains and event participants have fully functioning bicycles to ride but he occasionally makes an appearance in front of the camera to share his wisdom. If he’s not fixing or building bikes he’ll be out riding in #SweetSussex. If you want to know anything about Cyclocross, Glen is the man to ask.
