Rail & Ride: Leisurely Bike Ride from Canterbury to Dover
About this Event
Each summer, on the first weekend in August, a group of riders sets off on a leisure ride from London to Amsterdam in memory of David Eales. Day two of the ride is from Canterbury to Dover. We will follow the same route. This is a great route with mesmerising views, some climbs, and beautiful scenery. Cycling along the coastline will be one of your best cycling adventures.
We will take a train from St Pancras International to Canterbury, stop for breakfast before cycling from Canterbury to Dover. We expect to start cycling from Canterbury at about 11:00. Along the route, we will have another refreshment stop and several water stops. Once we reach Dover (ETA 17:00-17:30), riders can head straight to the station and take the next train to London, or take the one we recommend (see below). Alternatively, we can check the local amenities and stop for tea and coffee.
