Neil Quarmby and Martin Yardley both achieved personal best distances in the KCA 12 hour time trial on 12th August. Conditions for the event were generally fair if at times a little breezy.

Neil Quarmby came 7th overall with a distance of 230.838 miles and Martin Yardley 15th with a distance of 205.116 miles, Peter Rowe had to abandon due to back trouble.

The event was won by Gary Chalkley of Kent Cycles with 250.081 miles, and there were 34 finishers, in one of the largest fields in recent years.

Martin Yardley 

Three club members competed in the SCCU 100 mile time trail on 5th August, Neil Quarmby, Chris Cowlard and Anthony O'Callaghan.

Neil Quarmby finished with 4.40.24 and Anthony O'Callaghan with a 5.23.05 despite omitting a circuit and only finding out once back at the HQ, so returned to the course to ride his final 11 miles. Surely a contender for the Lantern Rouge award for 2007? Chris Cowlard, for reasons unknown failed to finish.

 Event was won by Keith Coffey, Bec CC, 3.56.23
