Intermediate road ride of about 36 miles, one way, some hills. Good fitness is required. Mostly paved surfaces. Each summer, on the first weekend in August, a group of riders sets off on a leisure ride from London to Amsterdam in memory of David Eales. Day two of the ride is from Canterbury to Dover. We will follow the same route. This is a great route with mesmerising views, some climbs, and beautiful scenery. Cycling along the coastline will be one of your best cycling adventures. We will take a train from St Pancras International to Canterbury, stop for breakfast before cycling from Canterbury to Dover. We expect to start cycling from Canterbury at about 11:00.
