The route
We will be leaving and returning to Hever Hotel. The route is 75km (46 miles) making our way through Markbeech, Ashurst Wood, Forest Row and around the Ashdown Forest, up Kidd's Hill before making our way back through Hartfield, Groombridge and Chiddingstone to be back at Hever for lunch. We’ll be travelling at around 25km/h as a peloton, however, there will be specific climbs on route that can be taken at your own pace. Ride captains will be there to support and manage you on the road, and stronger riders can top and drop to help out.
