Sky Ride Local in Kent

If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.

Join us on this ride which uses sections from the 2012 Paralympic road race circuit.  This ride quickly leaves busy Dartford and within 4 miles you find yourself in beautiful Kent countryside, surrounded by hop vines and fields with Dartford seeming a world away. The route also stops at the Speedgate Cafe, an institution for any Kent cyclist.

Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Steve Jones This is my second season as a SkyRide leader and I'm hoping it will be as much fun as the first.
    I've had some great experiences helping others get into or back into cycling.

    Enjoy your ride!
  • Nick Humphreys Hi I'm Nick. I started cycling regularly about 3 years ago. I have always been interested and involved with sports since my teens, playing Rugby and Cricket for a number of teams in the Gravesend area. I took up Squash about 10 years ago playing most weekends, until a serious knee injury curtailed my participation. Part of the rehabilitation process to strengthen my knee involved cycling on an exercise bike. Once the physiotherapy was complete, I fixed up my bike which had stood dormant in my garage for many years and started going out for local rides on the long Summer evenings and most weekends. Since joining British Cycling and completing the Sky Ride Leadership course, I have met many like-minded enthusiasts and am looking forward to a great summer of social cycling. "
