Starting Point & Postcode
Healthy Living Centre St Edmunds Road DA1 5ND
Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
1 hours 45 mins  (1 hours 0 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

A nice, easy circular route taking in a short canalside ride before riding through Dartford Central Park, heading out on cycle paths to the site of the Queen Elizabeth Bridge. Finally, we will head around the lakes at the new section near the Littlebrook Power Station.

  • Alice Porter Alice Porter I've been cycling since I was quite little, I remember holidays in the south of france and crying as we climbed up hills, how embarrassing! Luckily I cry much less now I'm a grown up and I now really enjoy cycling as my main mode of transport, for fun and to (try) and keep fit! Hopefully you'll get on your bike and enjoy it as much as I do!
