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 […]

This week, it was dry, but there was a strong […]

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 […]
Club riders made up a fair proportion of a small field for the De Laune CC “10” on the Isle of Grain course. It was a tough day with a head/cross wind on the way to the turn, which made it difficult to hold a steady line, as well as trying to maintain some resemblance […]
