PTW

Sunny with a gentle breeze (12mph) - Race Time Temp 22°C

Absolutely no chance of rain and also quite warm so it should be a good night but I'd like to see the wind drop a bit more. This is the first of the three remaining rides on the dual and it could well be the best of the three.

Anyway, here are the essentials;

1. We meet up at the Neath Canal Car Park in Resolven for signing on from about 18.15hrs and closing at 18.45hrs for a prompt 19.00hrs race start.

2. You have to be a member of the PTW or a second-claim member of the PTW. There is no 'single race' fee - you have to join the club as a first-claim or second-claim member and for 2023 this is now £35.00 (£25.00 + £10.00 supplement).

Alfie's MOTM goes to Stephen Morgan for smashing almost a full minute off his SB - well done Stephen. Note also that Chris Groves chipped 20 seconds off his SB.
