Heading west Ride, poss Devil's Dyke, meet 1000 at 1066, leaving at 1100

Megga has posed the question to me of where would I like to ride on Sunday, one area I have never done is Maidstone, Medway, north kent. Was wondering if anyone in that area would like to show us around. The weather for Sunday (18 Nov) looks ok at the mo. So who is up for the job ??

 

dave likes maidstone

i work there but can not tell you of any distance routes to take, i am so helpful

 

Can work out a route if no one else does? FINCHY ?

 

Only good roads around Maidstone are back lanes which are covered in leaves/slime this time of year. Best head for Ashford way I reckon.

 

Not sure I can do Sunday but if it helps I would say:-

Meet at Riverhead
Ide Hill
Four Elms
Edenbridge
Dormansland
A264 to Tumbridge Wells
A228 to Yalding
B2162 through Hormonden
A262 Goudhurst
B2085 Hartley
B2086 Rolvenden
Then to Rye.

Nice roads in there

 

lol i was gonna say ask finchy as he's up that way but someone beat me to it

Looks good

 

Bloody hell Ninja bob....Was that using tyre? Also how far mileage wise does it add up to? (always wondered but never remember to set the tripometer)

 

you guys do like riding with the sun in your eyes don't you...

 

Yes Tyre - been using it for years - 71.65 miles

 

Which is why I prob will not go, though Saturday I think will be poor weather anyhow, Most weekends we end up more towards the East than West, even when we always start at Wessons, Last week we went to Yalding, I would like a change this weekend and go West first.

 

Going somewhere with Keith, so it,s up to him how far west he wants to go. Or you westerners could organise yer own rideout. Sunday is looking good.

 

Will ask at home for a pass and see if I can get out to play.....

 

Good man.

 

I was asking to go north kent cos I`d not done that area but it seems I am being guided back west to sussex. If the roads in north kent are crap fair enough, I`ll just come for the ride.
As a side question has 1066 fallen out of favor? I only seem to hear of Wessons. Last time I was there on my own took me 20 mins to get bacon roll the other guy in there ordered a breakfast before me he got it as I was walking out the door having finished my roll. Fair enough if place crowded but we were the only two in there, not impressed with Wessons.

 

Yeah, agree with you Keith, more meets at 1066 then. Are you ok to head west on Sunday then? Meet at 1066 at what time? Breakfast from 1000, leave at 1100 ???
Anybody got a route heading west to where???

 

The Arundel place is Bury Hill Leila. Devils Dyke sounds good and looks good. Never been there?
Just changed thread title to avoid confusion!
