Apologies to visitor who have tried to use the location links on the Courses page. Unfortunately I made an error in building the page and I only realized today that they did not work. I have corrected the code and will endeavor to add the remaining locations shortly.

I have also started to add the course route and profile using the MapMyRide web site. The link wll appear at the end of the course details box.

Kent Group "10" at "10" 2 June

A super morning with surprisingly fewer riders than we would have expected. Mat Miles managed a superb 21.42. I cannot recall a 21 minute 10 on this course before so unless anyone knows better I would say that this must stand as a course record. Please advise if you know of anybody going quicker. You can see the result here. The current standings are below.

Open Event Organisers

I have updated the calendar with the event organisers I have for the Open events. There are a couple of gaps as the events were in the District list loaded on to the site, but I cannot see the details in the handbook. I can add Club event organisers or contact details if provided.

Please let me know of any errors

Kent Cycles 25 (Solo and Two UP)

It was a wet morning and with the added complication of the M20 being closed down soon after we had started the event due to an accident and all the traffic diverted onto the course which made riding difficult.

I, as start time keeper only found out that the M20 had closed in both directions as I had dispatched the last rider thus left me with little choice but to allow the event to continue and I was very thankful that all the riders returned safely.

Kent VTTA 10

The result of the Kent Vets 10 held on 6 March can be downloaded here pdf document

Congratulations to all award winners. Medals and trophies will be presented at the VTTA (Kent Group) lunch which is due to be held mid February 2011.

On behalf of the VTTA (Kent Group) may I thank all riders who braved the cold northerly wind, some managing produce some sparkling rides. Ben Instone ventured into Kent again and turned out a ride a minute clear of Will Mangar, well done Ben. Phil Bull and Reg Smith seem to alternate in taking the Mick Dansie trophy, clearly it was the turn of Reg for 2010, nevertheless Phil was not far behind. The Thanet lead the teams home with Andy Burrows and Colin Inett while Stephen Berry was the fastest veteran on scratch and Kate Bosley was the fastest of the trio of ladies

Without our trusty helpers there would be no event so thanks to the timekeepers Christine Burrows (Thanet RC) and Peter Baker (San Fairy Ann CC) for their expertise. Peter was ably assisted by Claire Silvester (De Laune) Other helpers were as follows:-

Signing on  Bernard Austin San Fairy Ann CC
Pushing off John Booty Wigmore CC
  Neil Colvin 7Oaks Tri
Charing RAB Alan Brown West Kent RC
  Alan Constable De Laune CC
  Derek Duchemin Ashford Whs
Result Board & signs Tony Peachey De Laune CC
Tea Bar & Organiser Val Peachey De Laune CC
     

See you all again in 2011. Let us hope the weather is a bit warmer - but do not count on it.

Left at the start, two riding jackets, can the owners please contact Val Peachey who has them for safekeeping

DC HANDBOOK

It appears that there may be some errors in the DC handbook. It has been pointed out that the handbook shows the KCA 3 UP on the 14 April when it should be 14 March. We have checked the errors identified so far and the information on the web site is correct.

SOUTHBOROUGH WHEELERS NEW YEAR'S DAY 10

Many thanks to those who made it through the snow and ice. At 9:30 I really thought, with the snow falling, it would be cancelled. Then it stopped and cleared and a delayed start of 15 mins meant we could go ahead.

Thank you to all the people who helped, John Watson (Pusher Off), Jo Watson, David Watson(Marshals), Les Hayman and Warwick Dunford (Timekeepers), Dave Parker, Steve Connery (Food and Drink) and numerous other people who helped on the day or with advice before hand.

This was my last year organising the event. Steve Connery will be organising next year so make sure you look in the 2010 handbook for the correct contact details. Could I also gently remind people to pay the correct amount. There were a few people who thought it was still £6.50. Not a problem this year, but make sure you look in the handbook for next year's race fee.

Have fun cycling.

NEW WEB SITE

At last I have managed to get the time to sort out a new web site for the District. Part of the problem was with the post. Having sent of the registration for the new site on 7 September, the post office reckoned it had never been delivered. I eventually received the registration documents so knew the site was active. This was two weeks ago, so not bad going.
