PTW

Weather Forecast: Light rain showers with light winds (5mph) - Race Time Temp 13°C

Get your voting done and then grab a PB on what looks to be a reasonable night as long as you don't mind a bit of light precipitation!

Here are the essentials;

1. We meet up at the Neath Canal Car Park in Resolven (What3Words: rots.connector.performs) for signing on from about 18.10hrs and closing at 18.40hrs for a prompt 19.00hrs race start over on the industrial estate just past Resolven AFC (TRW).

2. You have to be a member of the PTW or a second-claim member of the PTW and for 2026 this is now £50.00 (£30.00 + £20.00 supplement).

3. Please note that, until further notice, we are no longer accepting 'entry on the line' at our Thursday evening club events.

4. Riders will be allocated a start time based on their fastest rides in the previous PTW club nights and absolutely no requests for an early or late start time will be entertained.

5. Please don't forget your helmet and front and rear lights!

Cool but calm conditions so some good times tonight! Welcome back to Alex Thomas and Chris Groves - one of whom should know the course better! Welcome also to Sam Fisher and Dylan Sage - look at their times! A nice clump of road bike rides in the middle there with just 61 seconds covering the three. Mention must be made of the 2-up who took a huge 84 seconds of their time from last week - well done Chris and Lauren.

Loads of help tonight so my usual thanks to Will and Dai plus Matt for pushing off (with some gusto) and to Les and Chris Lewis for marshalling at the turn rbts.
