EARLIER START APPLIES
The 'flat' part of the club event season finishes with our fifth and final visit to the '13' course. Don't worry about the Rock & Fountain... wait until you see what we've got for you next week! Anyway, the forecast isn't brilliant but might well improve over the next 24 hours so here are the essentials;
We meet up at the Neath Canal Car Park in Resolven for signing on from about 18.00hrs and closing at 18.30hrs for a prompt 18.45hrs race start up near Glynneath.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
START on the B4242 Old Vale of Neath Road at unused entrance just south-west of the new Health Centre in Glynneath. 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 (6.5 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 ride to the start is 3.2 miles or 15 mins at a 13mph plod.
