Now in its third year, The Good Friday Sportive is the first in a series of events organised by Cyclopark, Kent’s premier cycling facility. With a choice of three distances, this sportive is the perfect way to start your Easter weekend.
After a warm up lap of the Cyclopark circuit, the route heads into the quiet lanes of the surrounding Kent countryside and offers up a challenge to both experienced and recreational riders who can expect some testing climbs, fast flats and exhilarating descents!
The route features the Pilgrims Way as it traverses the North Kent Downs, an area of outstanding beauty. Rochester castle is an impressive sight along the banks of the river Medway as to is Ightham Mote on the longer route. The bygone villages of Biddenden, Brenchley and Goudhurst feature along the way as you crank out the miles.
The routes are fully signed and supported with well stocked feed stations where riders can rest up, have a drink and a snack before hitting the road again.
Whatever distance you choose, you can be sure of a cracking day in the saddle with the Cyclopark Events team. At the finish you’ll be presented with a well-earned finisher’s medal and afterwards why not treat yourself to post ride massage or a tasty snack in the Cyclo Cafe.

You just can't help yourself can you?
Your mistake was not going to see someone in Barnard Castle.
Gotta be honest here, it is YOUR attitude that comes across… slightly peculiar....
That's quite a shocking number of pedestrian deaths (405). Walking isn't supposed to be risky.
I jad a taxi driver pull up beside me at a traffic light to comment on how visible I was....
One more wasted green space will fix it.
Pedantic I know but that implies that he has won three stages in each of the GTs, whereas actually he has three in the Tour, one in the Giro and...
