Club Run // Sunday 2nd April // A trip into Kent

A break from tradition with a south-eastern escapade into the wilds of Kent

I miss Kent!

Will try to get a 'pass'...

N

In your honour I will see if I can plan a route that stops at a cheese-making farm

Shire Lane please!

Why? It should be renamed Car Mirror Graveyard Lane.

Olivia has swimming lessons every Sunday at 9am for the foreseeable, so I won't be able to meet at the start for this, but will see if I can meet en-route once it's decided.

Because I enjoy riding along it.

Happy birthday!

Sleep deprivation, clearly.

Thanks Will!

Get ready for the first official CSG ride of spring.

The weather is warming up, the countryside is coming alive, and so are we.

We'll head out into some country lanes. Not too far - as it's still early season - but long enough.

And there might even be a tea stop somewhere too.

Needless to say we'll be back in time for people to watch the Ronde van Vlandereen sportive.

More news later in the week. Watch this space...

Family is away. IN!

Any more takers for Sunday's jaunt into Kent?

Remember exercise is good for you...

I'm expecting the route to be published later tonight.

I'll try to make it moderately interesting. Ideally not too long (as #jesusdiet has left me weakened).

Watch this space...

@Will, just to let you know a chap called Nathaniel will be joining the ride, please look out for him at the Cafe.

Have a good ride guys.

Nath Nath ?

There is a guy at work called Nathaniel, but he goes by the name of Than.

WTF shortens their name by picking the middle 4 letters?

Anyway, welcome Nathaniel!

WTF shortens their name by picking the middle 4 letters?

I certainly don't.

Here we go... 76.8km of hand-crafted joy with a few hills. (Please wait for me at the top.)

Put it on your Garmins, and start carbo-loading.

7 miles as the crow flies from my house. And I can't make it. Soz.

Nice. Proper Kent.

Cotman's Ash Lane was closed last week, so might be worth having an alternative in place if it's not yet been reopened.

Phew... Saves us a steep climb :)

(Although current status not clear)

This looks good will, I'm in Cotswolds this weekend trying to sleep in a house with 6 toddlers. 🤦🏻♂️
