The first longer ride attempted is Fool’s Errand on Sunday, 2nd April. It’ll go through lovely country lanes in Kent and is challenging enough for most cyclists. Why? Well, there are many ups and downs and ups are often near 20% gradient over half a mile…
I started training a couple of weeks ago. Last Sunday went out with a friend to tackle some of the hills and survived. 36 miles with relatively strong head and side wind were completed at 2:30’ish.

And this is how it looks in 3D thanks to VeloViewer
The ride itself will be double the distance and climbs. Hope to complete it in 4 hours.

Thanks, Jack. Had a look and it’s far more comprehensive cover. Though we agree in one point – road signing could be improved the next time.
