Fourteen riders lined up to take on the undulating 10 mile time trial course. Starting near the Butterfly House in Cwm Rheidol, riders were set off at one minute intervals to test their legs.
The weather was warm and dry with a North Westerly wind, which helped slightly on the return leg.
It was great to see new faces at the first event and new names on the leaderboards.
It proved an exciting evening with only four seconds separating the top three riders. Jonathan Price was the fastest on the night, with Stuart Jameson in second and Andy Hunt taking third place.
In the ladies race, Lowri Richards took the win, Lois Brewer in second and Anita Saycell taking the third place.
The evening also saw a new course club record with Glyn Williams powering his way to the V60 age record.
