SRCG CoMMITTEE

 "I got in to cycling as a way to get to and from my office when I w§as living in London. When my family and I moved to Tonbridge, I wanted to keep up the cycling as it was a way to keep fit and healthy and a way to eat jelly babies legitimately…I was lucky to find so many people who lived so close by with the same mindset, so I thought that I would semi-formalise the group and the rest is history!"

 Aussie dynamo Jedd has been a driving force behind the club from Day 1. Jedd masterminded the official SRCG jersey design and our series of informal lockdown time trials. A true CG rider who prefers early starts on warm, dry days, Jedd brings discipline and pace to group rides around the Kentish lanes and beyond. 

 “Hello I'm Pete, a founding member of SRCG! I took up road cycling about ten years ago, after completing my first Prudential Ride for charity. At that point I didn't even own a bike and had to borrow Wayne's! Safe to say I was hooked after that first sportive and am now a keen and regular member of the SRCG. There's nothing quite like the Kent hills and lanes to spur on a love of cycling, and we are blessed with both.” 

 “I've lived in Kent for well over a decade and am equally happy clambering around the hills of the Kent/Surrey/Sussex borders or thrashing around the flat terrain east of Tonbridge. SRCG rides provide a great blend of chat, enthusiasm, and the occasional fix of friendly competition." 

 Jon's Strava stats bely his almost unbelievable 48 years, of which four decades have been spent cycling in his native SE London, then Brighton, Cornwall and latterly, West Kent. 

  “Young kids had limited my cycling for a few years so finding such a friendly group to cycle and socialise with has given me a huge amount.  I'm now glad to be able to give something back via organising (some of the) club trips, and being on the committee."
