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 […]

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 […]
Not the usual author and write up today with Dave Mastin taking a well-earned week off. Well done to all the riders and helpers who completed and helped in our largest Betteshanger field for a while. It was good to see some familiar faces making their first outings for 2024; hope we see you all […]
