Birthday Rides 2000 - Route Sheets

West and East Kent DA's of the Cyclists' Touring Club jointly hosted the 2000 Birthday Rides in Canterbury. The rides attracted around 1000 cyclists and ranged from 25 miles to over 100 for fitter riders.

Most of the rides started and finished in Canterbury with a few starting across the Channel in Calais. The routes can be found below in order of length. It should be noted that a number of Cafes and refreshment stops opened specially for the rides, however, alternatives are likely to be found en-route.

Enjoy the rides!
