Hope you don't mind, Mr TheBrick, but I've Bikely'ed your route so you can view the profile (click on show, then profile).

]Rochester Ride[/ame]The profile gets lost a bit near the end sadly. The route out follows the TdF stage until it reaches Higham. The roads from Cuxton to Longfield are nice, the profile shows an enormous mountain, but it's just a bit draggy in reality.
Could possibly join you (would have to check with the diary, aka the wife), but would be on a road bike and I'd swing off at Meopham as I live just 6 miles SSE (as the crow flies) from there. Couldn't get to the start until about 9:15am though.
Only thing about rides to Kent is that you have to ride through a fair chunk of London to get there. If anyone wanted to do a Kent ride and travel down by train to a mainline station I'd be up for it. I'm from near Maidstone, but can easily get to any other station. Best would either be Sevenoaks (30 mins from Charing Cross), or Swanley (25 mins from Victoria). But that's for another day for another thread. This is Tommy's thread and ride :0)
