As the 29 riders signed on for the last 10 mile time trial of the season in a spectacular late August sunset, this would be the final opportunity to seek a personal best or even club record until 2018.
In a highly competitive men’s field, riders were competing for top spot. In the end Ieuan Andy Davies, fresh from taking a top 10 finish in the Welsh Championship Veterans TT and road race on the weekend took the podium spot in 22minutes and 29 seconds. Second place went to Danny Thorogood in 23minutes and 5 seconds. And third place to Andrew Poole in 24 mins.
2017 has seen an increase in the number of ladies competing in the club time trial events. Top spot on the final night went to Emma Palfrey in 26minutes and 33 seconds, second place to Helen Marshall in 26 minutes and 36 seconds. In third place Shannon Haird in 28 minutes and 39 seconds.
2017 has seen the number of riders increase in attendance in the time trials, often referred to as ‘the race of truth’. A big thank you to Andy Hunt, time trial co-ordinator and the crew of volunteers who have assisted over the series.
Next week, riders can take on the challenge of the Clarach hill climb.
