Build The Miles - 1

Ever wanted to ride 100 miles but never felt you could go the distance? Or maybe you just need to start increasing the mileage to get fit for the summer season ahead. Once a month we will be holding a ‘Long’ ride with a goal of increasing the mileage on each ride to build up to 100 miles in time for the local 100 mile Great Kent sportive (June). There will be 5 of these rides in preparation to conclude with the 6th which will be the sportive itself, breaking down to roughly, 40/50/65/75/85/100 miles.

A sportive is not about racing, it’s about completing the distance, and enjoying every bit of it with a great group of team mates. For this reason, coffee stops will still feature in these ‘Long’ rides. Depending on turnout we can split into 2 groups if needed.

‘Long’ Ride 1 – 40 miles

With a stop at 13cc Folkestone.

All riders must wear a cycle helmet. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring a drink, equipment to mend a puncture and a pump.
