Set of this morning with the aim of making Maidstone where we had an overnight stay with a host<\/p>\n
The first 4km were wonderful riding and then came reality cycling in the UK(at least east UK): crappy road surface, even worse surface on footpaths ( if they can even be found and then not entirely overgrown). It is quite extraordinary that this even exists in developed country!!!
Add to this the extreme level of rubbish on the side of the road – absolutely next level!!!!<\/p>\n
Had morning tea in s very quaint cafe where the building was about 500 years <\/p>\n
We boxed on until 3 pm when we tried ( unsuccessfully for about an hour) to find the bus to take us across the river…<\/p>\n
More to come…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
