A fine Grimporium of hills in East Kent as organised by Pat Cherry. The weather stayed fine although recent rain had made some of the lanes a bit gravelly requiring careful descent!
Killer of the day was the hill after Slip Lane which had gradient in excess of 20% with some ‘blips’ in the (high) 30’s! It was a bit greasy too so traction was at best vague! No 24” gear though :-) 111.6km, 1894m climbing
