Light cloud with a moderate breeze - Race Time Temp 11°C

The race time forecast for Resolven has improved slightly and the wind speed looks like being about 10mph so not brilliant but better than when viewed earlier in the week. Anyway, here are the essentials;

1. 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.

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 2024 this is now £40.00 (£30.00 + £10.00 supplement).

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

it's still very cool at the moment but the wind had thankfully dropped which contributed to some excellent rides... just look at that 1-2-3!! Alfie's MOTM goes to Will Roberts (St. Piran) who shook off some ring rust to break the '19' barrier. Dylan Sage (Cannibal Bahrain Victorious) went forward by a full half-minute from last week whilst young Sam Fisher (Welsh Racing Academy) took third place and has given himself a sub-20 target for next time. Thanks to Dai and Will for their usual support and also to Martin Sage for marshalling at the turn.
