PTW

Sunny with light winds - Race Time Temp 18°C

The race time forecast for Resolven is looking really good and the wind speed looks like being about 5mph with a tailwind home so what's not to like? 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).

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

A very good event tonight boys and girls and the wind dropped just in time!

Alfie's MOTM is a tough one tonight as we had another scorcher from Dylan sage, John Aspell did well again, Neil Seaward did well on a late start to the season on a bike he hasn't touched since last September and Darren Edwards scooped maximo road bike points. But, for setting a new PTW Ladies course record on the RC10/22R Alfie's MOTM goes to Emma Davies who is already faster this season than last... and we can't all say that can we?!!

As always, big thanks to Will for the whistles and to Dai Triggs for sending you off and for being an invaluable double-check at the finish. Thanks also to JD for covering the turn and to John Shehan for marshalling the first rbt. Nice to see some familiar faces too!
