Glad to say the Port Talbot Wheelers CJ Constructon Colours were in the ascendancy today with Richard Gambling, Spot and Rod Hicks taking the team award on another windy day. Richard just missed out on the podium once again finishing 4th. Spot was the fastest Vet so a big congratulations to you all

As if that was not enough, there was a record number of riders wearing Port Talbot Colours......... 12 entered, 12 started and 12 finished. over 10% of club members were competing out there today and hopefully all will have signed on and kept their hard earned Dragon points.

The results of the day were:

Richard Gambling 23:13
Spot 24:04
Rod Hicks 24:33
Nigel Pitt 26:03
Chris Allen 26:39
Peter Jones 26:53
Les Thomas 26:59
John Stroud 27:42
Skippy 29:18
Jeff Griffiths 29:25
Dai Triggs 30:58
John Williams 34:01

Next Dragon event is the Rhigos Hill Climb..... so can we have a couple of light boys to have a go please........LOL

Don't give me that old chestnut Disco......... Its one trip up the Rhigos, I'm sure you can ride up there chatting away with both hands behind your back quicker than i'll get this belly up there. So come on get us more points than I will..... Oh yes Hefin, Its a hill, I know you like hills, Ive been passed by you going up them before.... I think I was racing and you were warming up......
