KENTISH KILLER 2012: FINAL RESULTS AND AWARDS

Yes, it awards announcement time. With thanks to Bamboo Clothing for their support!

First of all, we've made some amendments to the final results, and these can be downloaded below. We're sorry if we have not managed to correct everything.

70 MILE RESULTS

50 MILE RESULTS

Awards

Time achievements

Don't forget, the Kentish Killer is a Sportive and not a race. However, we'd like to recognise some fantastic times achieved and will be sending Bamboo Base Layers to:

  • Malcolm Davies (VC Elan), 3hrs 52m on 70 mile route
  • Tim Pygott (London Dynamo), 3hrs 53m on 70 mile route
  • Vickie Bohlbro (Clapham), 4hrs 39m on 70 mile route
  • Ted Williams, 2hrs 44m on 50mile route
  • Deborah Coyle (Greenwich Tritons), 3hrs, 10m on 50 mile route

Team achievements

Selected by the KK Team for best team efforts on the day (receiving a supply of beautiful bamboo neckwarmers):

  • On the 70 mile route, Team PFOA (Police Fire Arms Officers Association)
  • On the 50 mile route, Team Sidcup Cycles

Best Blogs

Bamboo base layers go to:

  • Gary Grant ("short bloke") of Enfield Blokes. Very entertaining.
  • Steve Flight, for being the most stubborn rider going (and then driving himself to A&E!)
  • Ian Tovell, for a great write up of a first sportive.

Don't forget, photos now available at Sportive Photo.

We look forward to seeing you in 2013.

I've seen a couple of Star Hill photos on here, so thought I would share mine. The pain of hauling a MTB around the 50 miler (with the added extra miles) is evident behind the false smile. You can tell by the angle of the chain that I'm already…

The hills are alive with the sounds of straining!

A big thank-you (I think!) to the organiers who put together what was a great course and one that did what it said on the tin! Well done to everyone else who rode on the day and is still glowing with the sense of achievement that the ride left me with. This was my first sportive in 2 years, the last being the very wet 2010 KK and I have to say the hardest one I've ridden to date. I thought the White Rose Classic (2007) in Yorkshire was tough but this was brutal or was it the lack of training…See More

A very, VERY eventful day!

I was feeling quietly confident as I approached Brands Hatch on Sunday Morning, was gutted my pal Tony couldn't tackle it due to his lack of training, but hey we can't help those day to day commitments that interfere with our riding no matter how hard we try.

The weather looked favorable and I chose my kit wisely! I have done a few sportives before and have been actively training through the winter for a charity London to Paris in April. I had no doubt though that this…

My 2012 KK Experience



From the Enfield Blokes Cycle Club blog  : http://enfieldblokes.org.uk >>

Andy Warhol once famously said that in the future every one will be world famous for 15 minutes. Well, it isn’t quite world fame, but I finally achieved my 15 minutes of glory in the small world of the EBCC. Sitting in the restaurant at Brands Hatch after riding the first major sportive of the season, the Kentish…

Team Sidcup Cycles - Most finishers in one team!

Chris, thanks to your team for organising a fantastic and challenging event. I believe that Team Sidcup Cycles got more riders to the finish of the 50/70 milers combined than any other team. A special mention to Steve Lines who finished 4th overall in the 50 and 1st in MVet40 earning himself a Gold. So well done to Team Sidcup Cycles!

Cheers, Stefan Wright.
