Thanet RC Covid -19 Update

Dear Members,

Just a quick update from the club regarding the ongoing restrictions around the Coronavirus.

Both our National Governing bodies – British Cycling and Cycling Time Trials have ceased competitive and social riding and it is only natural that we as a club follow suit in cancelling Time Trials, Club runs and the Go Ride sessions for the younger members, to ensure the health and welfare of our members and their friends and family.

We are all having to adapt to the ever changing situation, and as sports people we are all frustrated by not being able to the season started as scheduled, but everyone’s health is the most important factor.

Everyone on the committee hopes you stay well and will look out for each other in these exceptional times.

I hope to see you all “on the road” at the earliest opportunity,

Yours in Sport,

Paul,

Chair, Thanet RC

Great season starter for George

George Pittock achieved probably his best result on British soil with an excellent fifth place out of 60 starters at the 90km Surrey League Regional A Category 2/3 race at Dunsfold near Godalming yesterday.
A group of seven got away early in the race and established a lead of 40 seconds as several teams spread out across the road. The gap was closed on the eighth of nine laps before Tom Springbett of Foran CCC launched what proved to be a winning solo attack.
George led the chase on the uphill finish and was second with 100m to go, eventually coming home fifth overall and second junior. Fellow Kent rider Samuel Painter of TBW23 Stuart Hall Cycling pipped George on the line for fourth.
