In the original KHF, there was a section devoted to clubs, etc. & I put " my pennyworth" on it, along with a few others. For posterity, I will reiterate. When I went home to Gillingham in 1948-1950 - on leave from the RAF-, in the Medway towns, there was an active branch of the Cyclist Touring Club- probably 30 members- who went on club runs every Sunday.( Safe as very little traffic then). After a couple of years with them, I joined the Medway Road Club. Along with the Medway Wheelers, they were the only club devoted to racing "time trials"- individuals against the clock, as well as touring in Medway. Then in 1950 the Medway Velo, was formed, cyclists who were keen on "mass start" racing as done on the Continent. Time Trialing was a very sombre affair- before WW2 you had to wear all black so that you didn't upset the motorists! - & you were required to wear " non gaudy" clothes as dictated by the governing body, the RTTC. The other body that we were affiliated to was the N.C.U. The Velo was affiliated to the B.L.R.C. & was started by a few friends, including my cousin Eric Smith. The Wheelers rose to fame as they had the winner,( Pete Beardsmore), runner up ( Ken Joy) & Team of the RTTC Championship ( 25, 50 & 100 miles) for 3 years running.
