Kent Valley Road Club Winter Lanequest series 2010-11KVRC is once again organising a series of lanequests over the winter period. They are the usual format with the slight difference that there are checkpoints of different values which adds a little challenge to route planning. They take place on the second Sunday of each month with registration starting at 9.30 and start times between 10.00 and 10.30. Date Venue 10/Oct/2010 Punch Bowl, Barrows Green Entry on the day is £10. However, if you pre-order for the whole series then they are £9 each (or £8 if you are a KVRC member). This price includes lunch. All proceeds go to charity.

Lanequests are orienteering events for cycles (road bikes or mtb) all on country lanes, with a similar format to a score event. Competitors have 2 hours to collect as many controls as possible, scoring 10 points per control, and are penalised for late return. For those with a more relaxed approach, there is a non-competitive class.
