It is often said that hill climbs are a young person’s pursuit, and so it proved to be at this year’s club hill climb. As usual in recent year’s, the riders tackled Bay Hill at St. Margaret’s Bay from the beach to finish at the top, opposite the Spirit of St Margaret’s monument. The weather […]
The final evening 10-mile time trial of 2024 was held at Betteshanger CP in cool and overcast conditions with a steady north easterly breeze. This was the first season for several years where we have manged to run a full program. We often have to cancel the occasional event due to poor weather, but this […]
This weeks’ time trial at Betteshanger CP was the Pip McVey memorial 2-up team time trial. This was just second time that this event has been run, but it is already proving to be popular with local riders, many of whom will remember Pip, who was the club’s most senior member when he sadly passed […]
After last week’s rather pleasant conditions, it was back to the more familiar weather we have come to expect at Betteshanger CP. That is, cool with a stiff breeze, which affected the times of most of the field. Despite the less favourable conditions, a total of 20 riders signed on to test themselves against the […]
The riders taking part in this week’s evening time trial at Betteshanger CP enjoyed what may have been the best conditions of the year so far.

It was a warm, dry but breezy evening for the latest 10-mile time trial at Betteshanger CP. The stiff north easterly breeze made it tough going around the rear of the circuit, and hence most times were affected to a greater or lesser degree. This week’s field consisted of 18 riders in total: 12 senior […]
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 […]

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 […]
