A little about who we are and what riding we do:-

Time Trials

Club time trials - These are the main stay of the club over the summer, and take place every Wednesday night, starting at Fowlmead Country Park at Betteshanger, or the Reculver flyover over the Thanet Way (keep your eye on the website to see which course is being used or contact the time trial secretary). Start times are 7.00pm with signing on at 6.30pm (half an hour earlier for the first three events in April, and the last three in August). There's normally around fifteen to twenty riders, of all standards, so if you fancy a ride, or just want to see what happens, come down and take a look. If you fancy a ride, you can have an initial go without joining the club for £1, after that you'd need to join the club (£20 for the year), but this would then allow you also to enter any other time trials in Kent.

The Sunday Club Run

This starts at St Nicholas bus stop at 9.00am and roughly follows the route shown in yellow on the map, taking in a café stop at Deal.

The Sunday club run attracts riders of all ages and abilities and there is a straightforward knack involved in riding it enjoyably; the main thing to remember is that due to the mix of riders and their cycling aspirations, there will from time to time be rapid and seemingly manic activity at the front of the group, whilst those of us with a more recreational attitude to the pastime will be idling ‘off the back’ discussing anything from last nights hangover, to the upcoming bacon sandwich at the café stop. The ‘knack’ is to avoid getting drawn into the fast group until you are ready for it.

Brett Dennis has been leading the TRC club-run for about as long as anyone can remember and will be at the St Nicks bus stop on most Sundays. Or you can join on route; Doug Bromham and a smaller band of followers join at Preston - Hatchers farm T junction by the pub from about 0915ish. Doug is an excellent wheel to follow as he is amongst our more mature brethren and he knows all the short cuts.

Social

We also have a monthly social meeting, the first Friday night of every month, at Minster Village Hall, start time 8.00.
