Thundery showers and a fresh breeze - Race Time Temp 19°C

With 36 hours to go we currently have our worst weather forecast of the season so I'm hoping that these very same 36 hours give us time/hope for an improvement. I'm also less than impressed by the accuracy of the BBC's forecasts recently - take yesterday's "light showers" which turned out to a torrential downpour that flooded the main road by the Plaza

Anyway, here are the essentials;

1. We meet up at the Neath Canal Car Park in Resolven for signing on from about 18.00hrs 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.

Course Description

START on the Vale of Neath Supplier Estate service road opposite Lamp Post No. 18. Proceed eastwards along the service road to the Resolven Roundabout (0.458 miles). (Safety Notice:- Do not cross the centre line of the road on the right hand bend). Take the 1st exit left along A465 dual carriageway westbound to the 1st exit left (4.862 miles). Continue up the loop to the small Tonna Roundabout where take the 1st exit to the large Aberdulais Interchange. Take the 4th exit (5.505 miles) to proceed down the slip road to re-join A465 dual carriageway. Proceed eastbound to the Resolven Roundabout where take 1st exit left to FINISH at the access road to the Canal Car Park on the cross-valley link road (10.006 miles).

Whilst the rain isn't heavy it isn't showing any sign of stopping until about 8pm so I'm going to look at this at 5pm and make my decision.

Dai is a bit closer to the course than me and he has reported that it's still raining so I'm giving us all the night off.

TONIGHT'S TT IS THEREFORE CANCELLED.
