Administrator	Once again, we are going to run a 30-mile club event for solo riders that will decide the winner of the Club 30-mile Handicap Trophy. Effectively, it's two laps of the '15' course but starts a few hundred yards down the valley (i.e. further left from the Resolven 'T' junction). Other than that it's very much like a normal club event - i.e. sign on by 18.45hrs for a prompt 19.00hrs start. The start is about half-a-mile from the car park at Lamp Post 101 on the back road. Course Description RC30/23R - START at Lamp Post 101 on the B4242 (old Vale of Neath road) approximately 300 yards south-west of link road to A465 rbt at Resolven (commonly called Resolven ‘T’ junction). Proceed south-west on the B4242 through Abergarwed and Ynysarwed onto the 'Rock and Fountain' climb to Aberdulais to the junction with the A4109 where turn left with care. Continue south-west on the A4109 through Aberdulais to the Aberdulais Interchange where turn left onto the slip-road down to the A465 eastbound. Continue north-east on the A465 to Resolven rbt to take the 2nd exit along the A465 to Blaengwrach rbt. Bear left along cross valley link road to the junction with B4242 (the old Vale of Neath road). Turn left onto the B4242 and proceed south-west to finish Lap 1 (of 2) at the "30" mph speed limit sign at the eastern end of Resolven. Lap 2 - Proceed south-west on the B4242 past the start and continue through Abergarwed and Ynysarwed past the 'Rock and Fountain' climb to Aberdulais to the junction with the A4109 where turn left with care. Continue south-west on the A4109 through Aberdulais to the Aberdulais Interchange where turn left onto the slip-road down to the A465 eastbound.
