Harriet had a great race coming 1st in the U8 girls and William coming 3rd in the boys race. In the afternoon dad and I did a recce […]
Finally, we had some decent weather on a Wednesday for the 10 mile time trial at Betteshanger CP. As a result of better conditions, we had a good field of 45 riders taking part. The senior field included a number of guests from Ashford Tri Club, who used the event for their club time trial […]
The club was well represented in the popular VTTA (Kent) 10 mile time trial on the Q10/30 Thanet Way course. This is the event that was run successfully by our own Colin Inett for many years, and this year, was run very efficiently by Folkestone VC. It was a warm day, but the stiff westerly […]

Great to see as many riders and helpers at the free cycling Lydden open day this coming Sunday (see flyer for details) […]

Conditions were the opposite to those experienced the previous week, with a tail wind to the turn, and a stiff head wind for the return leg. The trike event had two club members making their […]
Once again, it looked as if the weather would seriously affect the Wednesday evening time trial at Betteshanger CP. Although the forecast looked rather poor, and there was a light shower just before the start, the event went ahead. The winds were light and the atmosphere a bit humid, and the track was damp from […]
