The week of the summer solstice saw velo riders out racing time trials, and taking part in some longest day rides.

Matt Nunn raced the VTTA 10 mile Time Trial held on the closed cycling circuit at Betteshanger Country Park and finished in a strong 6th place in a time of 23:36.

Well done Matt, and thanks to Mark Hill and his team of volunteers for putting on the event.

With the longest day falling during a week, a number of club riders set out to undertake some epic rides.

A large group of riders including Andrew Collyer, Simon Tucker, Nigel Wharton, Rachel Hartridge, Simon Morris, Fraser Blandford, and Charlie Bruce completed a 160 mile lap of Kent on the Friday, whilst Rob Sapp completed a similar lap with a friend on Saturday.

Sally Smith decided that roads were not for her and took part in the Salisbury Plain gravel epic, completing the 135 mile event, of which 80% was off road, and including almost 3,000 metres of vertical ascent.

Well done all!
