What's New?
Kent is celebrating after Sustrans’ Connect2 campaign won £50 million of government cash to improve cycling facilities across the country in the People’s Lottery.
Sustrans’ ambitious scheme won the public TV vote that decided the outcome of the Big Lottery Fund's The People's £50 Million contest. Work on delivering the scheme starts in January 2008.
Remember the Tour?
Earlier this year Kent was treated to a superb cycling spectacle when the world’s greatest cycle race, the Tour de France, visited London and Kent for the weekend of the Grand Depart
Forthcoming Events
The Great Kent Bike Ride gives cyclists a superb opportunity to explore a varied landscape of ancient towns, gentle hills and unspoilt shingle beaches, together with a choice of two circular routes of 53 or 29 miles. The event, on Sunday 22 June, is in aid of the Canterbury Oast Trust charity.
Planning ahead? Go Cycle Kent is already starting to list rides lined up for the year. The Castle Bike Ride is bound to be a favourite once again.
Need to get fit? Then look ahead to the Circuit of Kent Cyclo Sportive in September and start training now!
Riding the Tour is clearly not even a realistic dream for most of us, but we can all get out and about in the Kent countryside and enjoy being on two wheels.
This site is designed to help – from buying a bike to being safe on the roads, exploring the glorious Kent countryside and joining a club, Go Cycle Kent really is geared up to help you enjoy this fabulous pastime.
