Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze (14mph) - Race Time Temp 17°C

Hold your nerve! There's some pretty lousy weather coming including 40-45mph winds but race time looks a lot more promising and we'll be on the dual.

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.

************************************************

With no club event last week I thought riders would be 'gagging for it' but just five riders rocked up for our first visit to the dual for a couple of months. Anyway, look at that close result! You could have thrown a blanket over the first three... which is exactly what I did for them to keep warm! Actually, it wasn't that cold but it was a bit too windy for PB's.

Alfie's MOTM goes to Rob Jones for taking the win - well done Rob and don't forget to join us on our new hill climb event on the old Neath Bank on Sept 12th. Many thanks to Dai Triggs for covering the turn (he's a very versatile young man).
