Strong Performances on the Historic Llety Gwyn Course
On a warm and sunny evening, thirteen riders from Ystwyth CC signed on to take on one of the flatter local ten-mile time trial courses—the historic Llety Gwyn route. Named after the now-demolished Llety Gwyn Hotel in Llanbadarn, where riders once signed on, this well-established course has been used for over fifty years. Over the decades, it has attracted notable riders, including Stevie Williams and brothers Josh and Fin Tarling.
A challenging headwind made the outward leg tough, but competitors were rewarded with a helpful tailwind on the return to the finish line.
Caron Pugh delivered a dominant ride to take a convincing overall win for Ystwyth CC. Jonathan Price followed with an excellent time, and Andy Hunt, in top form, completed the podium in third place.
In the women’s event, Lowri Richards took a commanding victory, with Lois showing great strength to secure second, and Anita taking third place.
Glyn Williams showcased his strong form this season by setting a new Ystwyth CC club record for the course, breaking Tim Johnson’s long-standing V60 record, which had held for eleven years.
Arwel Jones and Adrian Price also impressed on the night, both achieving new personal best times on the course.
