A mixture of Newham Cyclists and friends from E20 Cycle Club set off from Canterbury West, heading through Canterbury University and up a hill to join the Crab & Winkle Way (some ‘Paris Roubaix’ surfaces here!)
At St Cosmos & St Damian Church, Blean, we met Jane from Southwark Cyclists, who joined us for the ride. Then it was on to the coastal path – aka the Viking Trail.
Stopping for lunch (and a few ice creams) at the West Bay Cafe, we were joined by Newham Cyclist Anna, who was off for a swim at Broadstairs.
On around the coast to Margate and then finally to Ramsgate station for the train home, after 33.4 miles and 350m of climb (not pancake flat as previous advised by Robin!*)

*Editor’s note – anyone spot a recurring theme with our ride leaders?!?
Apologies about the odd formatting – lost the will to live trying to get it to look right!
