Steady-paced, social ride, avoiding steep ascents where possible, to Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/reserves/sevenoaks There may be an option to extend this ride a bit futher into Sevenoaks to the Deer Park, if someone knows the way!
This route is about 18.8 miles outbound, it goes uphill very gradually, to our coffee/comfort break in Orpington High Street, 10.5 miles out. Then it gets a bit steeper, for the next 4 miles, but there are flat and even brief downhill sections, to aid recovery! Downhill pretty much all the way after that.
We'll use the same route inbound, so a similar distance back; the only difficult bit will be climbing up Polhill, but it'll be downhill all the way after that...
