Flying Dodo
It'll soon be summer
Is this going to be a magical mystery tour Adrian?
No. I'm thinking of heading off from just outside the Queen's back garden and then heading, in an arc, to the seaside at Hastings.

Ah, 1066 and all that.
I trust they gave you a hefty discount off that fine china what with the mug of the wrong brother being alongside the delightful Kate on the mug.This morning, I purchased valuable items for the next seance of rides. I'll post a pic in a minute, see if you can guess what it is!
Meanwhile, this is a relevant thing to behold:
Ok I have now finally ridden my proposed route to Hastings. The good news is that it is ridable. The bad news is that it is rather up and down and the halfway stop is at about 42 miles out of about 72.
It goes, Whitstable rout as far as Deptford then Lewisham, Lee,Eltham, Sidcup, Footscray, Swanley (24hr Asda), Farningham, West Kingsdown, Wrotham, Mereworth, Padlock Wood, Kippings Cross (24hr M&S coffee etc.), Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Hartley, Hawkhurst, Seddlescombe, westfield, Hastings.
The hill after Seddlescombe on finally joining the A21 is a bit of a kick in the teeth. I'll see if crossing the A21 north of Seddlescombe and going ca Battle might be easier

Unfortunately I'll not be able to come. My cousin has organised a family get together in Cumbria that weekend and, as these occasions are very rare unless someone dies or gets married, I'll be doing that.
Nevertheless, I hope you have a very pleasant ride!
