As I’ve mentioned in previous Kent posts, whenever we’re down in the county visiting family, I usually try to fit in some rides.

As I mentioned in my last post, Margate and Ramsgate loop along the Viking Coastal Trail, we’re often in Kent visiting family, meaning I get to do a bit of cycling down there, in an environment that’s very different to Manchester, in many ways.

Almost as if to plan, the first weekend after the start of spring arrived with glorious sunshine. So it’d be wrong not to get out on the bikes with the family and some friends. This is first ride we’ve had for a while as family, rubbish weather and busy weekends have meant we’ve not had chance.

On a glorious Sunday in May, we headed out for a ride down the Bridgewater Way and Trans Pennine Trail. Two families, four kids and eight bikes, we made our way from Stretford towards Lymm.
