On behalf of myself and all the riders from Energy Cycles Club, I would like to thank Wendy and Will Owen of Clwb Rasio Mona for the work they have both put in during this season, compiling the results and publishing them after each event.

A quick reminder that next Sunday, 8th September, the Club will be organising the Fachwen Hill Climb. The meeting/signing on place will be at The Caban in Brynrefail from 9...

A tough evening was in store for those who rode this evenings sporting course (Aberdesach/Llanaelhaearn/Aberdesach). The breezy conditions weren’t going to give fast times, and most of the riders times were slower than when we held the first event on this course, back in June this year. However there are always exceptions, and this evening it was to be Garry Ellis. With a whopping 51 second improvement on his previous ride on this course and only 17 seconds short of the course record, Garry was the worthy winner.

Thanks to all those who rode this evening, particularly those who travelled some distance to compete, I hope to see you all again soon.

Once again I would like thank Caren, Ruth, Llion and new Club member Dafydd for assisting with marshalling...

The Autumn Hill Climb season is fast approaching, a quick reminder of what the Club is organising at the beginning of September this year.

We have just been given approval from First Hydro Company to use the private road at Marchlyn. Please add a new date to your diary, on Sunday 8th September we’ll be holding the second edition of the Fachwen Hill Climb. The signing on will be in The Caban upper car park in Brynrefail from 9.00am, and the event starts from the large lay by at Pen Llyn on the Fachwen road at 10.00am. Riders will follow the road up thro’ Fachwen towards Dinorwig and up to the Surge Pond at Marchlyn. Distance 5.5 miles, and approx. 1810 feet of ascent. Something for folks to think about, how about tea and cake after in The Caban. All invited, including those not racing...

Well we were in for a suprise. We had no howling wind, pouring rain or midge to try and spoil the evening. It was warm (very!), dry, and sunny. The conditions allowed for fast times. From the records I have, the time that Gareth McGuiness set for this course (Aberdesach/Llanwnda/Aberdesach) is now the new course record. Well done to all those who made the effort to come and do a ride, I hope you’re chuffed with the results.

Once again I would like thank Ruth, Caren and Llion for assisting with marshaling. Without you, we’d not have been able to hold the event. Cheers!!
