Just to echo the above sentiments, big props to Ma3k for leading and ensuring no one was left behind, it was a lovely route. Had a great time in great company, lots of punctures but they did'nt detract from the fun and all passed with good humour. Lovely country lanes and the hills were steeper than I was expecting but I managed to get up them on my hefty gear inches without coughing up a bollock.
Lovely tail wind all the way made us fly, especially the last bit along the coast from Herne Bay to Margate. Thanks to Katie for the chips, they tasted good. The smell along the coast was a bit ripe though, does every poo in London end up in Margate?
Rowhan will be along later with his proper camera photos but here's some I took for now. And yes free travel back made the day cheaper than if I'd stayed at home, result. LFGSS summer rides, full of win.
