That goes right past where my Grandfather and Father were born and grew up. I spent I lot of time there as a kid. Anyway I would not want to cycle a bike up Cudham Hill it's 25%+ in places.--

I really liked the route but for the last couple of years there has been snow and ice in the lanes. They've moved it back a month this year...

I've liked it the times I've done it. Both times, though, local scrotes have taken down some of the route arrows... Still, rode round last year with some good chaps after going off course0 -

Lets hope the weather is better and there are no sudden route changes. Will potentially make for a good day which I am looking forward to be honest! *Fingers crossed*FCN 8.0 -

I do a lot of my training runs down that way anyway so I'll nick the route and put it on the Garmin to do sometime.0

Thanks JG.I do a lot of my training runs down that way anyway so I'll nick the route and put it on the Garmin to do sometime.
I know the area pretty well also, have been on many a club run around there. Was thinking of doing the route one lazy sunday morning but to be honest once a year is probably enough.FCN 8.0 -
