Thanks and a question about the T-Shirts
First off, thanks to all for a cracking event and hats off to the marshalls and feed station staff who braved the cold and dreary weather to ensure that things went so smoothly. Yes, I'd also have liked the arrow heads to be a little bigger but it…Continue

Thanks
Just a quick note to add to the thanks. It was an excellent event that was run very smoothly and professionally. I appreciate that a lot of people gave up their Sunday at least, and many will have given a lot more just so that myself and others…Continue

KENTISH KILLER 2012: SUNDAY 19TH FEBRUARY
********************************************************************************************
ALL 750 PLACES SOLD OUT.
********************************************************************************************
The 2011 Kentish Killer was rated as a “Must Do” Sportive by Cycling Weekly and it didn’t disappoint, receiving some of the best post-event reviews.
For 2012, we will again provide cyclists with a great experience backed by superb organisation, all at a cost of just £20. The latter includes transaction charges and, as with 2011, we will make a significant cash contribution to the Kent Air Ambulance (a charity that relies entirely on donations). Highlights for the 2012 event include:
- Start and finish at Brands Hatch motor circuit, with extensive parking, lots of toilets and sole use of the Kentagon (where we will provide refreshments)
- 3 cracking routes of 70 miles, 50 miles and 25 miles. All take you through beautiful countryside and up and down some challenging hills. Click on the links and take a look! Full Garmin files ill be available in advance.
- Full Chip Timing, with Timing Mats for each routes and online results service.
- Extensive bright signage with 60 marshals out on the course, backed by NEG motorbike support
- On course mechanical support, backed with support vehicles.
- Three food stops: two of these will be indoors, to include toilet facilities.
- Hot soup, Tea, Coffee, cakes and filled rolls at the finish
- Fully insured event with risk assessments undertaken with BC guidance
- Team and solo prizes will be awarded, and some new Kentish Killer T Shirts will be available
We have 700 places available for the 2012 Kentish Killer, which was a sell out in 2011 and 2010.
Stay fit!

Marc,
I'm afraid we sold out the 700 slots a couple of months ago, and have also filled a 50 strong reserve list. We'll probably create space for the latter in two weeks time, and any left over of the 50 we'll notify you of through…

Ode to the Kentish Killer
It’s a cold Sunday morning, mizzly and grey
But we won’t let that stop us; nothing gets in our way!
Four hundred cyclists converge on Brands Hatch
And set off regardless, batch by batch.
A marshal he guides us, “50-milers, turn right”
We stream out the gates ‑ it’s a colourful sight.
Legs spinning quickly we try to get warm
Into Kent’s lanes, a pedalling swarm.
It’s all very friendly; I chat with one man,
“Done…

Kentish Killer
If ever there was an appropriate title for an event then this was it!!
What a fantastic day, who cares if it was wet, misty and cold I wasn't interested in the views! The car park up Ashdown HIll entitled "Four Counties" will have to be taken on trust I could only just about see the edge!
Every one associated with the day did a fantastic job. The marshalls egging you on, the encouragement from people on the hills and the banana pushers at the feed stations!
My first ever…

Undeclared War
I developed a real phobia about riding in cold, wet conditions last November. Having taken part in a rainy La Fuga ‘club run’ into the Surrey Hills without enough clothing, then got onto the wrong train while shivering uncontrollably, the final leg of my ride back home exposed some old knee problems and kept me off the bike for a month.
The physio told me I had a dominant right leg and needed to do some weights to stop riding around in circles, so I set about becoming a gym monkey for…

What a Killer
Carlsberg don’t organise sportives, but if they did.................
What a great event, where else can you get hours of fun in the saddle with extremely friendly marshals, excellent free grub at feed stations, a great start / finish venue and an excellent route all for 18 quid!! Avanti you were so good I bet you even had a word with Mother Nature to organise the weather!
See ya next year and thanks again it was brilliant.
P.S. Next year try…
