Energy Cycling Club 10 mile Time Trial – 10.05.20160

May 10, 2016 Posted in  Race Results

Well it certainly wasn’t the nicest weather conditions we’d ever experienced on this sporting course from Aberdesach to Llanaelhaearn and back to Aberdesach. Light persistant rain created rivers of water across the carriageway, and pools gathered at the sides that created obstacles for fast moving fellows on skinny tyres. Despite this and a nagging breeze, a record number of riders for this course, turned out and rose to the challenge. From the more experienced riders like Energy Cycling Club’s Gareth McGuinness and Garry Ellis, and the rising youngsters Twm Bryn, Osian Craig, Huw Owen, Jack Williams, and Sion-Kelly Williams, to the eight members of Clwb Seiclo Madog who joined us for the evening. Once again Gareth proved the fastest, and only ten seconds shy of Garry Ellis’s record set  two years ago. Jack Williams improved the juniors record by 34 seconds, and Twm Bryn took 30 seconds off the youth record for this course.

A well deserved pat on the back goes to you all for making the effort to compete this evening. Well done Gentlemen!!

Thanks to all who rode and those who came to support the riders this evening, and particularly those who had traveled some distance to compete, I hope to see you all again at our mountain time trial on 7th June, or at the two criteriums at Ty Croes on 19th May and 2nd June.

As always I would like to thank the guys and girl who turned out and enthusiastically marshalled the event in pretty poor weather. Thanks goes to Huw Williams who sheltered me from the rain with one wopping umbrella, to Rob Fogg for being a superb “pusher off” once again, to Dave Owen for erecting the signage around the start area, to Bryn Williams, Llion Williams and young John Williams for doing a sterling job at the Llanaelhaearn roundabout. And finally to Ruth for doing just about everything else during the evening. THANK YOU from all who took part this evening.

Till next time…….
