Chase the Sun Tour 2026

Two days of gentle touring to Kent, then on Sunday, the years longest day, a long(er) distance ride chasing the sun back to Portsmouth.

Day 1 – Midhurst & then across the High Weald with an overnight stop in the vicinity of Tunbridge Wells. Distance approx. 120Km

Day 2 - onwards to Ramsgate (or maybe Dover), 120Km

Day 3 – OUR BIG DAY CHASING THE SUN - Starting at sunrise(ish) 04:51hrs, well take a coastal route back to Portsmouth, aiming to arrive back at 21:22hrs. A distance of approx. 260Km (160 miles), so easily do-able in 17 ½ hrs, and plenty of time for stops to eat and drink along the way.

Options for overnight stay are camping or B&B, we can decide this and our routes once we know who is riding.
