This week, it was back to the regular 10 mile time trial at Betteshanger CP. Conditions were reasonable but not quite up to the best we have had so far this year. It was dry, cloudy and quite breezy, but a couple of riders got close to recording PBs. Nina Reid equalled her PB, while […]
This week’s evening time trial was actually two events, one over 10 miles and the other over 25 miles. The conditions at Betteshanger were quite pleasant, being sunny, warm and with a steady breeze. Just three riders opted for the shorter distance, while eight riders signed on for the “25”. Brian Hood was quickest over […]
The latest evening “10” at Betteshanger CP attracted a disappointing field of just 9 riders. Factors were probably England playing in the Euros semi-final, although kick off time was late enough that it would have been possible to ride the event and still get home before kick-off, or the fact that it was billed as […]
After last week’s brief appearance of summer weather, it was back to the all too familiar weather we have experienced in 2024. There was the threat of rain, although it did stay dry, but there was a stiff westerly breeze to battle against. As a result, the times of all riders were affected. We had […]

We had 4 riders in the junior section of the field, and as expected, Dougie […]

This week at Betteshanger CP, we had both good weather and a good field for the evening time trial. It was warm and the wind was quite gentle, certainly by Betteshanger standards. In total, 22 riders signed on for the event, 16 seniors, 4 juniors and a 2-up team. With the good conditions came some […]
It was a reasonable night at Betteshanger on Wednesday; dry, reasonably warm and a slight breeze (the riders disagreed!) This week was a road bike event with most riders opting for their road bikes. Fastest junior overall was Dougie Tulett with a 25:46. Fastest junior girl was Nina Reid with a 29:11. All credit to […]
We were quite fortunate with the weather for the latest evening time trial at Betteshanger CP. Earlier in the day, it had been showery, but by sign-on time, it was bright and breezy. A few late withdrawals saw the field reduced in size down to 14 riders, 4 of which were juniors. It was no […]
