This section will be where I attempt to collate some interviews with our members, post some articles that we find from around the web, and maybe even have some of you contribute some thoughts yourselves.
The thoughts
Such a Perfect Day
I have one day left, what ride would I do?
Tour du Mont blanc - one hell of a day
1 day, 1 bike, 339km and 9019m of climbing! The Tour du Mont Blanc is normally a trip that we do over a 3-day weekend. Still not sure why I decided to do it in a day.
The vct cycle centre
It will be a year in the making but I am now in a position to announce that by the end of July, we will have our hands on a new chalet that we will be converting into the VCT Cycle Centre. I am teaming up with Neil Ralphson (VCT member) for this adventure.
Salty Coffee

The interviews
THE INTERVIEW- 1. The Running MAn - Tom NAYLOR
Tom “Naylor” Naylor, notorious on the Brighton Scene. Tom is always looking to meet new people and loves a good chat. Always great to catch up with him.

When not doing his proper job as a VCT Domestique and dog’s body, Olly likes to spend his time helping EDF create their nuclear power station at Hinkley Point,
The interview - 2. the stoner - Ivan cudby
Ivan Cudby - true South Londoner and fabulous cyclist. Always there to help people out and can ride at anyone’s pace. It was lovely to speak to him and hear more about his Stone Carving.
the interview - 5. the drummer boy - joe perry
Professional drummer Joe cannot sit still. A very busy man, he always has to keep active. Full of energy means that cycling is no problem.
The interview - 3. the charity case - Treve ripley
Treve Ripley - the man behind Ripcor, a close partner club of VCT. A very generous man and it was fun to be reminded about the story of Ripcor.
The interview - 6. The beach bum - peter bryant
I think that I am right in saying that Peter is the only World Champion in VCT. Mind you that was in 1980! You can take the beach away from him but he will always be a bum!
