PTW

EXPECT THIS EVENT TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE BACK ROAD!!!!


Light rain showers with light winds - Race Time Temp 15°C

This is the race time forecast for Resolven but thundery showers are also forecast for late afternoon/early evening. On a more positive note, the wind speed looks like being about 5mph but backing around to give a headwind on the return leg. Anyway, with 48 hours to go, it's all guess work so 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).

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

Between us all we turned a wet and gloomy night into a brilliant night! Solid debut rides by two new club members and a guest with tremendous potential, a new R10/22G course record by Dylan Sage plus Emma Davies breaking her own Ladies club course record.

Now I do like to mix Alfie's MOTM broadly equally between the stars, the triers and the improvers but this week I can't see further than Dylan Sage... 20:30 on the freakin' back road!!

As always, big thanks to Will and Dai plus Tony Howell for nipping down to the turn. Well done everyone - a good night.
