Hopefully by now, most have seen that the West Kent RC have a regular Saturday training ride, so if you are thinking of trying it out, or have a weekend pass to go and tire yourself out so that you don’t “pester” your partner when the light goes down, I’m told by those that have ridden it, that the route is …
The biggest lesson today was if you do not start near the front in a criterium you have lost before the race has begun, unless your head and shoulders above the rest but I am not, the headquarters was really difficult to get to unless you have raced the event before, I was not in the main area where riders …
Sunday began with a dry start at the meeting place, eight of the usual suspects set out for Tunbridge Wells Claverley Park on the Long ride whilst the others went on the Short ride. Those of who know the venue understand that this is a long ride, the leaders were Mick & Mack then came Phil suffering from a bad back , Multi kit Gary, …

Both runs to go for the legendary sausage sarnie. One ride will be a long route and the other a shorter route. Any new members please make yourself known to the ride leaders, if its your first ride out with us you will go with the short route to be assessed as to the level your at.

Wow! With quality alliteration like that I should write for one of the daily rags…..or maybe not. This mornings Club Run was always going to be a bit of a gamble, The weather reports told of “The End Of Days” but then the press do tend to hyper mega massively hugely extremely over-exaggerate the slightest of rain showers, something I’d …
Yes that’s right last Saturday a number of us went dog racing at Crayford dog track. It was actually a breakfast meeting and was cracking good fun, we met there at 10am where we had breakfast then set about having a good chat and some cheeky bets. In total there was 14 races and all i can say …
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.

We met at the normal place for 9am with the prospect of heavy rain, waiting was Alex, Austin and Lee.We waited until 9:15 when we were sure nobody else was joining we set out on what we will now call Saturday …
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.
This was my first race back after a block of training, first race as a third cat and my first race on the Biddenden course, so I didn’t really know what to expect, my main aim for the race was to give 100%, to make sure that after the race had finished I had no doubts or thoughts of what …
