Administrator	Drizzle with a light breeze (7mph) - Race Time Temp 18°C Our Thursday night season concludes with a '10' on the back road and whilst it's looking slightly grey and drizzly at race time in Resolven, let's hope for an improvement over the next day and a half. Please don't forget that it's an 18.30hrs start time! 1. We meet up at the Neath Canal Car Park in Resolven for signing on from about 17.45hrs and closing at 18.15hrs for a prompt 18.30hrs race start up near Rheola Ponds. 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). RC10/22G 'BACK ROAD' COURSE DESCRIPTION START on the B4242 Old Vale of Neath Road at the entrance to F.E. Chick just north-east of Rheola Pond. Proceed south-west on the B4242 to Resolven junction. Continue south-west on the B4242 passing through Abergarwed village and Ynysarwed village to the 'Rock and Fountain' hill, climb and continue to TURN with care at the break in the dual-carriageway opposite the Groundhog factory at Ynysgerwen, SA10 8HH (5.0 miles). Descend hill and retrace route north-eastwards along the B4242 through Ynysarwed village and Abergarwed village. Continue north-eastwards through Resolven junction and past Rheola Pond to FINISH directly opposite the start. ************************************************ The Port Talbot Wheelers Cycling Club TT Series is sponsored by Body Solve who will provide PTW club members (who produce their PTW membership card at the beginning of an appointment) with a discount of £5 off any treatment undertaken at one of their three facilities in Port Talbot, Swansea and Bridgend.

Administrator	What a shame to finish the season on a soggy night but none of the 'nutty nine' wanted to give in to a bit of drizzle. Bravo! Our result was topped and tailed by our guests this week and we had another guest (albeit a club member) from Dubai who just wanted to ride in the rain! Graham Rogerson took maximum points to round out a fine Thursday night series but Alfie's MOTM goes to Clinton Evans for an excellent ride that took the win. Big thanks to Will and Dai for the usual and also to John Shehan and Dan Black for marshalling. See you at the hill climbs! P.S. On behalf of those of us on the easy side of the stopwatch thank you and thanks for your kind gifts. _______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character).
