Sandwich Countryside Circular in lockdown

As a Breeze Ride, I first led this ride in January 2020 and it was a great success. The route details are noted above.

Have you missed riding with your cycling buddies? Or did you buy a bike at the beginning of lockdown and now want to meet new people with a common interest? Friends old and new are welcome to join us on this ride.

After weeks of lockdown, social distancing and solitary riding, Breeze are now back in the saddle.

This is a medium distance ride to get you all back into group riding.

Starting in Sandwich we head out through the golf course towards Deal. Cycling alongside the sea we continue through Walmer and up into the back end of St Margarets-at-Cliffe where we take a countryside route back to Sandwich.

We will be riding on coastal cycling paths and countryside roads. Expect some vehicular traffic.

We can stop when you feel you need to for photos, water and short breaks if these are necessary. Hopefully we will be can find a cafe selling take away coffee enroute.
