Four Thornton Road Club members entered the 2006 New Year's Day 10-mile time trial organised by Southborough & District Wheelers. Ridden on the Q10/10 Bethersden-Singleton-Bethersden course in a sharp west wind and cold squally rain, 49 riders in all completed the course. The fastest rider, unsurprisingly, was Sean Yates (In-Gear Quickvit) at 22 min 30 sec. Thornton's Gordon Davis won fourth prize for his improvement over his previous best time on the course. Results for the four Thornton RC riders are shown in the table below. Albert (Bey) Lainson rode the last 2.5 miles of the course gingerly and unhurriedly because of a punctured front tyre, which partly explains his excess over the veteran's time standard.

There were five Thornton Road Club entries in the 10-mile open time trial organised by Southborough & District Wheelers on 18 March 2006. Seventy-two riders in all registered for the event. The course was the Q10/33 (Tenterden, Appledore, Woodchurch, Tenterden), which is normally fast because it has few turns and a rapid one-mile descent in its first half. Conditions on 18 March however were far from ideal, with an exceptionally strong cold east wind, which appeared to affect most riders. Peter Tadros (In Gear RT) recorded the fastest time of 23 minutes 33 seconds - almost 4 minutes slower than his best time. Paul gunner of Thornton RC gained third prize for his improvement over his previous time (a gain of 39 seconds), while Don Houghton was the club's fastest rider on the day (29 minutes, 45 seconds). The overall results were as follows:

Results of the time trials for the 2006 season, held on the Thornton RC course on Romney Marsh, are shown below. Early season weather was windier than normal, which meant hard riding and protracted times. Enthusiasm was undimmed however.
