100 Mile Training Ride
A very good turn out for the 100 mile training ride up to Gloucester and back through Wales. Not sure how everyone got on but here’s some photos at the start
2up Bike Race
The following day KIT members were doing the 2up bike race. It was quite a cold morning with a very slight head wind for the return leg and the road surface was a bit rough in parts (particularly on the loop riders did twice). With a few colds etc there were some solo riders it but was enjoyed by all (I think) and we had a few supporters come out to watch (Steve Raff, Derek and Rachel).
The race not being enough for Maggie and Mike H they cycled 25+ miles to get to Castle Combe to watch the Duathlon where it was somewhat warmer but windier.
Results:
Dave Rudland NOT KIT 58.
Jer/Chris 1.08.23
Marcus 1.13.30
Mike H 1.17.10
Philippa 1.25.01
Maggie/Jenny 1.32.00
John M DNF’s due to loosing a contact lens.

Castle Combe Duathlon
Then in the afternoon several KIT members did the duathlon at Castle Combe it had warmed up a bit from the morning but was quite windy.
From Graham Anstis:
Race report windy but not as much as November.
Late starting as waiting for children and youth to finish it was good seeing them out competing.
Thought I did first run under 15 Min’s but was 15.5 that was OK.
T1 OK as used TT helmet for first time
Out on the bike windy but not as much as November was going about 18 mile an hour going up slight hill but only 30.7 by pit lane.
Was OK though as going 20 seconds faster a lap than in November. 3rd or 4th lap I lost a contact lens bit strange at first but that was not going to stop me.
T2 not on results yet OK but calf’s started to cramp
2nd run OK just hung in tried to wind it up with 1/4 a lap to go came in 17.5 Min’s with T2
Overall time just under an hour so happy.
Philippa said after that she saw me pass her but noted my cadence was slow Probable 60RPM will have to concentrate to keep it at between 80 – 100 for next time
Results:
1st Lee Piercy NOT KIT 42.35 ( 9.49,.49,21,no T2,10.56)7
