A Pilgrimage - Advanced Notice


On 10th May I will be leading a ride from Caterham, and, as ever, I will try to make the ride a little bit different.

The plan is to do a linear ride, like Simon's Winchester rides, but going in the opposite direction, to Canterbury.

The route will be a mixture of country lanes, and, if the weather permits, a fair amount of Pilgrims' Way.  We can finalise the detail on the day, as the Pilgrims' Way does not ride well in the wet.

Lunch will be in the Wrotham area, about 25 miles from the start, and Dave Vine has kindly agreed to lead a party back from there, for those that want a normal Wednesday ride.  

The rest will go on to Lenham for tea, about 20 miles from lunch. There is a choice of stations near there for those that wish to return by train after tea.

It's 20 miles more from Lenham to Canterbury and we should arrive at about 1800.  There's a choice of trains from there, either on the Redhill line or on lines to London.  With a bit of planning we should be able to get everyone on one train or another, or you could spend the night in Canterbury and ride back the next day.

Have a word if you'd like more information; full details will be published in due course.

ps - you don't need a horse, but Rapha are doing the jerseys above...
