It's not as "easy" as just doing 117 miles, there's only 7 hours to do it in
which is an average of 16.72 mph - quite a fast pace for a long ride.

Are there any proper hills between Greenwich and Canterbury?

Sounds fun, I wonder if they'll object to me using Ventolin?

They can save the cost of the bike, I've got a Galaxy, but I might need
some new panniers.

What do you get to see on this tour? Are there any good sights to see?

You got me worried there! I'm signed up for this and have just re-
checked that the limit is 20kph (12.5mph).

See <http://www.everydaycycling.com/news.aspx?fid=613>.

It's 120 miles btw but apparently there aren't any significant hills.
