You are guaranteed to have a great trip with some great diverse cycling featuring traffic free routes with coastal, woodland and country trails. Join us for an amazing cycling adventure where you can either camp for 2 nights and enjoy 3 days riding or join us just for the one of the days! We will be exploring Kent's orchid region the 'garden of England', riding through the rich tapestry of farmland and quaint local villages as well as riding along the pebble shores of Hythe, Folkestone & Whitstable.
