Hi - new subscriber after a much awaited christmas gift..

Just wanted to find out if any locals from my neck of the woods Whitstable/Canterbury and if they have any routes etc we could share?

We have several routes we mix and match around but always interested in other local knowledge to mix things up!

Thanks

Simon

Check out kent trails, bog hogs (if they still exist), the uni club, Herbert's cycles and Tibbs cycles.

Thornden has been butchered over the last couple of years but there's still some cheeky fun to be had.

Go and talk to the guys at Downland cycles in Canterbury - very friendly and knowledgable - was down in Whitstable this weekend and went up to the new cyclopark , no good for MTB but fab for road riding

Check for segments on Strava, there are loads of trails locally, Blean Woods @ rough common and Clowes Wood @ chestfield being the hotspots. Normally do a loop that takes in both via Dunkirk & Dargate then back to Canterbury along the Crab & Winkle.

Covert woods out near Barham just off the A2 has some good stuff and Biketart are in negotiations with the FC to improve what is already there. Check out Covert Woods Riders Collective on FB
