Kentish Killer: Any Final Questions about Sunday?
3 Replies

Just a quick note regarding the KK this Sunday. It should be fantastic event, not least because the weather is looking good! We sold out 1,070 places ages ago, and have turned away another 300 who…Continue

"Thank God you are OK.  Daz and I did a rapid loop up to Chiselhurst, we were both nearly taken out by someone at a mini roundabout who obviously just did not look.....and we both had really strong flashing lights. All too regular this stuff."

"Over in Bruges, and did the Tour of Flanders Cyclo yesterday. My fourth year in a row, and the coldest. 260km, 6000ft of cobbled hills and brilliant organisation. They now limit it to 16000 entrants with 4000 doing the full 260km route. I do love…"

Kentish Killer Feedback, Goody Bags for Helpers and more............

As some of you will know, I ran a survey of the 1,000 cyclists who entered the 2013 KK. I run surveys for others all the time in business, and I have NEVER had such a high rate of response, NOR such overwhelmingly positive ratings! This was a confidential survey, and these are notorious for endless small gripes, even if people are fairly happy overall. Not in this case.....the feedback is simply glowing.

I attach some graphical and statistical information from the…
