Epsom - Canterbury: Pilgrims' Way ?

[hatler]

I have some friends heading from Epsom to Canterbury and they were wondering if some of the Pilgrims' Way would be a suitable route for their hybrid and road bikes.

What are the panel's thoughts ?

Many thanks.

Depends how rainy it's been of late. And how good their bike handling skills are.

Large sections that are bridleway are entirely ok. Some bits are a little rocky.

The chalk sections will be quite slippery if wet but the bridleways pass through some very pleasant countryside

There's shortish sections of chalk and rocky sections that might be tricky in the wet. You can walk them.
