The Sportive Challenge

Heading out along the roads that run alongside the River Medway participants will quickly find themselves in Kent countryside with orchards and swaths of pasture that present a colourful landscape.  The terrain offers up some teasing climbs with sweeping descents as riders crank out the miles through the quiet lanes.  Highlights include the pretty villages of Hartlip, Borden, the quaint house of Boughton-under-Blean and Faversham which boasts the oldest brewery in the country.
