Good Friday ride

[Jon H]

Anybody got any ideas for a Good Friday ride?

I'm open to suggestions, but maybe a trip to the coast or off the beaten track for a Kentish adventure?

I hear that George is riding to Manchester to watch the relocated track meet

Should be nice and fresh for the 25 I'm promoting on the Sunday .

Any thoughts yet on what folk are doing?
I want to do a long one on GF if the weather isn't too grim, I can come up with a ride but is anyone else already thinking of something? Doesn't matter if it's not that long I can just tag something on at either end to satisfy my desires.

I'm thinking along the lines of a Lloyd Park start, then down to Ashdown Forest, east towards Lamberhurst(ish), north towards West Malling(ish), then back along Pilgrims Way and up whichever bit of the North Downs takes people's fancy.
Will involve some looking at a map / getting lost / making it up on the way type stuff, and most likely a cafe or pub stop. Guestimate of 80 miles(ish).

Well thunk that man, sounds like a good one .

What sort of speed were you thinking Jon?

[Andrew G]

Evens .

Route's sorted. 9am start from Lloyd Park.

Should be there. The 10 miles to Lloyd Park can take a variable amount of time with roadworks etc. though. Last time I did it it was easy to get evens though (downhill).

Nice one Jon, see you at Lloyd Park. Looking at the forecast should have a chance to get the legs a bit pink.
