Round 4 Club 10's

Today's round 4 of Kent Valley's club 10 time trial league returned to the Milnthorpe circuit, a fantastic course that has a few lumps and bumps and nice long straights.

Excellent weather, warm temperatures and light winds this evening encouraged a great turn out of riders, from across the local area, and further afield.

Local young talent George Wharton season continues to go from strength to strength with the overall win with a excellent ride of  22.45.

The Mighty Shap

Today saw round 13 of the Lakes & Lancs Spoco series touching down in Kendal, with KVRC hosting the round.
The early morning conditions that caused the cancellation of the Lancs CC Bank Holiday 10, pushed through to give sunny but cool blustery conditions.

The 9.1 mile Mountain TT once again attracted a strong field of riders from across the North West with some top names thrown for good measure.
Again the 2016 edition of the mighty Shap didn't fail to deliver with it's sweeping bends & long climb all in outstanding beauty, making for the perfect arena.
Kent Valley's 6 riders in the round, Amanda Howard, Tim Bennett, Phil Shaw, Dave Wilkinson, Duncan Orme & Peter Knott, all put in great performances doing KVRC proud.
UCI Continental James Gullen of Pedal Heaven once again took today's honours.

Thanks again to everyone

Sunday Sunday

Sunday Sunday and what a Sunday wet wild and windy for the duration, making the KVRC club run into a true Lakes Hell of the North,.
A true test of grit and determination the rain the club run headed out from Kendal Leisure centre at 9am bound for the Lyth Valley and the S.Lakes Coastline, with it rolling roads and spectacular views across the bay.

Wet and cold the draw of warm coffee and soup lured the KVRC club run towards today's bike friendly Cafe in the Forest which is in the heart of the Grizedale mountain biking centre.
Muddy, wet, gritty and damp but full of the joy the club run buzzed its way back via Troutbeck and its stiff little climb Hollin Bank, to nicely finish the legs.

NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND
