This was round 6 of the Catalina Architecture & Design Ltd TT Series 2023 and the last chance for riders to test themselves before the Triple Crown weekend next week (16, 17, 18 June).
The weather was again warm and sunny for the rolling ten mile course starting in the Rheidol valley. The eleven riders contended with an Easterly wind, which helped them on the way out to the turn around point at Lovesgrove roundabout.
It was to be another record breaking night with great times by all riders.
