After seeing Sainsburys Ed's thread about riding to Canterbury, I've been thinking about organising a ride of my own. Not straight down the A2 though, I was thinking more like this.
Being a local I know all of the route, well apart from the last 20 miles or so, but from there all we have to do is follow the signs to Canterbury! If you click on show, then profile you'll be able to see the profile, although it's currently bust and I've requested a fix for the route.
For now I am just testing the water. If there's a reasonable response I'll definitely sort something out.
Oh yeah, it's 72 miles by the way, so anyone taking part will need to have done some sort of distance riding before. And I would only do it on a Sunday as I can't make Saturdays. I'm on holiday for a fortnight as from tomorrow, so once I'm back I will review this thread and make some sort of decision!

PS We would actually pass within 300yds of my house (as the crow flies) just before the half way mark, I could easily arrange for some free food and drink for any participants!
