The first edition of this sportive saw 170 riders tackle six major climbs in the Weald of Kent , some are well-known like Goudhurst but others not , Pixot Hill had some riders not only out of the saddle but off the bike as well ! The scenery changed from country lanes to A roads , from open fields to wooded areas , the feed station at 55k was praised for its stock of jaffas and jelly babies amongst other food , the signage was described as 1st class and mechanical support is only a phone call away for those that need it . Add the 4 mile KOM climb as the last hill of the day and try for the Polka Dot Jersey ! The event will once again support the Prostate Cancer Charity with over £500 raised in 2010 .
