Fair enough. Myself and another ex Londoner are in Broadstairs, both kind of newish to the area. We've been riding out to the lanes in the Elham valley south of Canterbury - Stelling Minnis, Kingston, Derringstone, Wingmore, Pett Bottom. Lots of very quiet lanes with iffy surfaces and some short sharp climbs. Been here 3 years and I'm still learning. You're welcome to join us, we mainly ride gears and our pace isnt frantic as we're both middle aged bastards.
Good question with two sort of boring reasons: 1) is that the concrete seams on the coastal path sea wall are hell on a fixie with bodged p-clip mudguards and 2) I do it quite a lot on trips to Margate going that way so was just looking for an alternative roads to explore (I've not actually done that route yet)
Those routes are just ideas of places we can go, not routes I'm keen to stay locked to.
