SP Energy Networks Backs Fast Times at Cwmrheidol Time Trial
As anticipation builds for the upcoming National Championships, SP Energy Networks sponsored a fast and competitive 10-mile time trial at Cwmrheidol on Wednesday evening, just days before the main event.
Riders were treated to favourable conditions, and the evening saw strong performances across the board. Caron Pugh continued his dominant form, taking first place with a blistering time of 21 minutes and 30 seconds—just two seconds shy of the senior course record he set in 2023.
Paul Brewer also impressed, smashing his own V60 record by four seconds to claim second place with 25:04. Rounding out the podium was Tony Jones, with a solid ride in 26:42.
In the women’s category, Lois Brewer took the top spot with a fast time of 25:43, further underlining her excellent season form.
The event marked Round 8 of the Catalina Architecture / Ystwyth CC Time Trial Series, and the club extended thanks to all who helped the evening run smoothly, including marshals Louise, Tom Jewell, and Kristian Bond, and timekeepers Derek Rattray and Elaine Rowlands.
Next week, the series returns to the Llety Gwyn course for Round 9. Sign-on will be at the Penweddig School car park between 6:15 and 6:45 p.m. Full details can be found on the club’s Facebook page: Ystwyth CC Facebook Group.
