TW to Tenterden via Cranbrook. Nothing too strenuous in the way of hills bar Goudhurst on the way out, but a few ups and downs to keep you busy.
Love the "Ticehurst roller" - a rolling mostly downhill 7 mile stretch of road from Wadhurst to Ticehurst and beyond. Stop for coffee and cake at Bodiam Castle and nice scenic route back through Robertsbridge, Brightling, Heathfield, Mayfield and a...
Great for a fast ride. Has a bit of climbing but is a very fast route. In a group you can do this around 20mph. You climb to Ashdown the fast way and then along slight down & flat fast road from Turners Hill to...
Strava segment starting just North of Four Elms on Toy's Hill Road. Ascends and descends six well known local climbs, circles the roundabout over the A21 junction before retracing the route in reverse to finish at the foot of Toy's Hill. Don't forget...
A popular Sunday ride route (approx 50 miles) with lots of options of cutting it shorter by heading south from Pilgrims Way over Ide, round or through Sevenoaks. Do this on a nice day and get great views south from top of the North Downs. ...

About 32 miles and about as flat as it gets round here. No avoiding climbing back to Tunbridge Wells though so a bit of a sting in the tail with Foxhole lane just before Penbury
