The organisers of the Oasts and Coasts 300km are pleased to introduce The Invicta Phoenix 400km Paris Brest Paris qualifying ride out and back across The Weald and up The Downs to the finish. The ride refers to our experiences of former West Kent CTC Invicta series events.

The GPX files

Please ensure you download the correct file for your navigation device and test it before the ride starts. Newer Garmin Edge and Wahoo devices should use the TCX file. Olders Garmins should use the GPX track file. Some older units have a trackpoint limit, hence the 500 track point file below. The files below are zip files that need unpacking to reveal the GPX file.
