I haven't a clue where the route sheet is but about twenty years ago I had a 110 mile route from Bexleyheath.
Basic route, roughly from memory is 'Bexleyheath, Orpington, Otford, Wrotham, Wrotham Heath, West Malling, East Malling, Wateringbury, Yalding, Hunton, Sutton Valance, Pye Corner, Egerton Forstal, Egerton, Charing Heath, Pluckley, Bethersden, Smarden, Headcorn, Cross at Hand, Collier Street, Laddingford, East Peckham, Hadlow, Crouch, Wrotham Heath, Kemsing, Otford, Eynsford, Swanley, Bexleyheath'.
It wouldn't take much to push that to 200km, nothing in Kent is totally flat but it is not heavy climbing, I used to ride it on 72" fixed

It was down to start at 8:30 so we did start an hour later, we opted with the start time so it gives riders doing the double plenty of time to get over to the Bec.

I organise the Catford CC Hill Climb now and 54 entries is the lowest for a long time, I was chatting to Gary Beckett organiser for the Bec Hill Climb and we have both heard from other organisers and Dave Hayward event photographer that entries have been very low across all Time Trials this year, a real shame.

I started wearing them in 1981 after a trip through a windscreen on an old Mk2 Ford Zephyr, driver over cooked a bend smashed into a Volvo estate pushing that in to a Vauxhall Cavalier pushing them both about six foot.
It just felt like banging my head against a door, old toughened screen just shattered, luckily I got away with twelve stitches in one eyelid, four on the bridge of my nose and ten in my wrist where glass got under my watch strap, I lost sensation in my scalp for about ten months as the feeling gradually came back was the weirdest, half the time it is luck if you survived. :D -

Tried my first Japanese whisky and loved it so I bought a bottle, £30 in Sainsbury's
Very smooth like a Speyside Malt with a touch of sweetness similar to bourbon's
Thermostat sticking open was the common cause of not warming up.
