Location: Fowlmead Country Park
Event: 25 March 2012
Last Sunday saw a record number of 45 young riders take part in the latest cycling event at Fowlmead Country Park near Deal. The event comprised of a one mile time trial followed by mass start and fun handicap events.
This race also formed the final round of the highly successful Thanet RC versus VC Deal cycling club challenge; the first two rounds were cyclocross followed by mountain bike. In the inter-club challenge, Thanet RC came out on top to claim the overall series 2.5 to 0.5.
This latest round was kindly sponsored by St Peters Bike shop and produced a number of fine performances from local youngsters. It was also great to see riders coming to Fowlmead from other Kent based cycling clubs such as San Fairy Ann CC, Wigmore CC and Southborough Wheelers. The races were competitive but also lots of fun with plenty of novice riders trying their hand at road racing for the first time, with the hope of them now participating with local cycling club sessions hosted by Thanet RC and VC Deal on most weekends.
