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.
2 hours 45 mins  (2 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.

Sky Ride Local in Kent

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.

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.
