PTW

Hi all. Entries are open for our 25 mile 2 up Team Time Trial on the 13th of March.

http://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/event/20725

It's on the R25/24 course which has a bit of everything. A good, fun course.

Another Tank KOM!

Good luck with running your first PTW open event Matt.

The 2-up was also my first open event in 1996 and having just found the result sheet I hope readers enjoy this little trip down memory lane. Remember, there was no 'downhill start' R25/3 course in those days - this was on the R25/2 (le Tour de Roundabouts) and there was a sharp headwind coming back from Glais on that day.

1. John Pritchard / Ceri Pritchard (Olympia Sport-Condor) 52:50

2. Geraint Evans / Justin Phillips (PTW) 56:15

3. Arwel Davies / Alastair Rhodes (Ystwyth CC) 57:03

4. Gerald Crook / Dai Abbott (PTW) 57:59

Fastest Team with a Lady: Gaynor Hughes / Martin Hughes (Cwmcarn Paragon) 1.03:14

Fastest Team with a Junior: Ian Bendall / Gerard Davies (PTW) 1.01:03

Fastest Team with a Vet: John Davis / Steve Davies (PTW) 59:13

Entry fee was £8.00 per team!

Happy Days....

Thanks for that Alf. I know you said you'd help out in the event. You are very much needed so I just wanted to confirm that you should be able to be there?

As the event is getting closer, I'm looking for volunteers to help with the following please;

Timekeepers - Tudor and Norman
Number spotter - Tony
Results board - Alf
Pushers off (2) - Selwyn & Tud
Signage (arrows etc) - Me
Catering - Karen, Mandy & Shirl
Photographers - Will, Dan & Meirion (possibly more!)

Marshals
Resolven roundabout (First Turn) - Dai Triggs & Wendy
Tonna/Aberdulais roundabout (4) - Hugh Davies (Sweep), John Davies, Nigel Jones, Jeff G
Resolven roundabout (return) - Meirion & Leon Williams
Cwmgrach roundabout- Hollie & Dan
Junction to Old Road - Alan Griffiths
Resolven Junction - Little Kev
Ynysygerwyn - Paul Naysmith

If you could either reply to the thread, let me know in person or send a carrier pigeon, that'd be great.

What else would I be doing on that date Matt?

Although I am waiting for a call back from Amy Adams...

Great, thank you Alf. I won't ask how long you've been waiting for that call...

Unfortunately I am in work that morning but if there is anything I can do leading up to it, let me know.

Thanks Ray

There are just a few more days until the closing date and entries are going well. I'll be in the club tomorrow night for anyone who wants to hand their postal entry to me

Matt, put me down for Aberdulais roundabout should be OK for the 13th.

Thank you Jeff

Hi Matt,
I am available to help on Sunday. However, never mind the riders, it could be a tough day for me if Wales beat England at Twickers on Saturday!!
Let me know what you want me to do.

Thanks Kev. If you could be on the back road at the Resolven Junction then that would be great. It's 16 miles in to the course so that'll give you some extra recovery time!

I'll have high vis jackets and rider lists in the HQ for all marshals

No probs, I'll be there Matt, win or lose on Saturday.

Just Like to say a big thank you to Matt and everyone who turned out. Once again PTW have hosted an outstanding event, loads of Marshalls, well organised, great prize list, great atmosphere.

Only happens because of you guys.

Also a BIG! thank you to Spot who dragged me round to a pretty decent time...... I wonder how quick he would go if he had some help...... and if anyone is good at photoshop can make a picture of me on the front it would be appreciated LOL...

I can't tell you all how grateful I am for being there today and for the help in the run up to today. Thank you all once again, and I hope all the marshals enjoyed the sunshine and watching some great performances by the riders.

Great to see PTW in the prizes with Morgan Ley & David Hendry being the fastest team with a junior, and Richard Gambling & Christopher Jones winning the fastest composite team award.

I have the results ready to go but the CTT system won't let me send them until tomorrow, so keep an eye out in your inboxes tomorrow evening! They have just been published here- http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=108712#entry1501047

We were lucky to have 2 photographers out on the course today, so keep an eye out in the gallery in the coming weeks for those photos

Above all else, I'd like to wish a speedy recovery to Michelle of the Cardiff Triathletes
