Inspired by our fantastic Ceredigion Olympic athletes, Stevie and Josh, nine riders took to the start line to test their own legs on the Cwm Rheidol 10 mile time trial course.
Caron defied the blustery conditions to post a time only 28 seconds from the club senior record he set himself last year, to earn the first place. Adam Hepburn rode a strong time trial on his road bike to cross the line in second place, and chasing Adam down, only 10 seconds behind was Arwel Jones, taking the third spot on the podium.
In the women’s race, Emma Palfrey rode a strong race on her road bike, to take the win, with Anita taking second place.
David Bond, showing his improved strength and commitment each week, posted another great sub 28minute ride. While Glyn Williams, showing his speed this season, was only 2 seconds away from breaking the V60 club record.
In the V70 category, both Martin and Mike, showing no sign of slowing down, enjoyed a good battle on the night, with Mike Fitch, coming out on top by 31 seconds.
Well done to all the riders that braved the strong winds and narrowly missed the rain shower! Thanks to the time keepers and marshals, Derek, Elaine, Andy H and Scott, for the smooth running of the event.
