After the usual social niceties were dispensed with and discussions concerning café destination (Yalding Tea Pot) and applicable route decided upon, we set of a cold but bright and only slightly breezy Sunday morning. Numbers only just reached into double figures which was slightly disappointing given the weather and time of year, however we left in equally bright (if slightly …
Quick report from Trevor: Today 8th November 2015 the WKRC took part in their annual Ride of Remembrance which is normally held on the Saturday before Remembrance Day each year. Yesterday due to the bad weather the ride was cancelled and held today and a few remembered the FEW by visiting two memorials and placing a poppy on behalf of …
Please note we will not be going to the Priory, we will go to Cobtree Park instead. After you pass over the level crossing do not turn left over the bridge as normal but follow the road through two 90 degree right turns. The park and café are about half a mile up the road on the left.

Please make mine a little happier by paying your subs as soon as you can. The West Kent Road Club still offers outstanding value for money with fees of only £20 for First claim and £8 for Social membership. We now have lots of fun ways to pay too: Hard cash (always a favourite) …
Could be the Tea-pot. If it’s not open then just down the road for an enormous portion of “Turbo power” for the way home.
Incorporated in to our weekly training ride on the 8th November , six members of the Club visited memorials to downed RAF fighter pilots from the Battle of Britain. We learnt of the sites from the Battle of Britain museum in Shoreham where we often stop on the training rides and make use of the café there. The memorials we visited are …
What washout? It had stopped raining by quarter past eight and not too cold. Alright, the roads were a bit damp, but the West Kent Hard Core loonies were there. Matthew and Lol went via Sandy Lane and got round with no incident. Stopped at the Battle of Britain Museum in Shoreham for a monster scone and bacon door-step with …

Main run to Tunbridge Wells, choose on the day between Calverly Park or the Velo House. Shorter, slower ride to Westerham for those finding their feet.
Main Club run will go to Penshurst Place, the café within the grounds but no need for admission to the house. A shorter and slower run will go to Westerham. This is all weather dependent, be prepared for wind and rain and possibly a last minute change of plan.
I have done few charity bike rides including the London to Brighton and had been out on the odd weekend for some longer rides. I am by no means a super fit, sleek, svelte biking fanatic but I do enjoy a good bike ride and decided that I needed to join a club for fitness, motivation and above all enjoyment. …
Five West Kent members signed up for this event on the E2/10 near Newmarket. Basically it’s a blast up and down part of the A11 dual carriageway but we were given plenty of space by the vehicles. Rain threatened but apart from a few spots didn’t really materialise. The wind however was present, in your face on the way to the …
Haven’t been for a while due to flooding early Spring.
