Uk cycling event, Kent Classic supporting Alzheimer's Research UK

Just as i settled into a pace and strategy, i reached the brow of a big hill into the untempered wind. 'WHO AM I KIDDING?', I thought with a max'd out grin laughing at my foolishness. A great day out! Southern trains have the same bicycle policy as Southeastern, so…

Gravel Ride Sevenoaks Groombridge Forest Way
