Routes
RIDE OUT # 1 – THE KENT COUNTRYSIDE LOOP
A perfect Sunday afternoon ride out with friends.
Meet at the junction of the A28 and A274 at London Beach just East of Tenterden.
From there, head into Tenterden on the A28 and take the last left turn at the West end of town, the B2082 – a lively little road that ducks and dives a lot between hedges and is used regularly by horse riders.
Follow the road all the way down to Rye.
In Rye you’ll typically find bikers parked in the Quayside car park – a great place to stop, rest and chat.
From there, take the A259 to Hastings. If you want a slow detour take the coast road down to Winchelsea Beach and along.
In Hastings, the old fishing huts are a great place to stop.
From there head North on the main road through town, pick up the A28 which journeys right back to Tenterden and complete this great loop of the Kentish and East Sussex countryside.
RIDE OUT # 2 – THE COASTAL PATH
An exhilarating Hastings to Hythe via Camber route.
Kick off in central Hastings and take the A21 out of town. Meet the A28 after about five miles.
Take in the views via the B2089, B2080 and A259.
At Rye, try the Woolpack Pub, a great biker friendly stop.
Rather than stay on the A259, branch right to Camber and follow the signs to Lydd. The route takes you around the back of Lydd Army Ranges – lovely sweeping bends where you can re-join the main road.
Stay on the A259 al the way Hythe via some great open sea roads at St. Mary’s Bay.
