Filek & Coe donned the red and white for the second Friday running to take part in the criterium racing dubbed “Pedal Power on the Prom”.
Bad weather had little effect on the huge crowds – the biggest seen in the Tour Series’ three-year tenure in the Welsh coastal resort, according to organisers – but forced the commissaries to amend the circuit.
What an evil little circuit they devised to. It had it all – climbs, fast descents, tight twisting corners and a killer head wind along the sea front.
The Hafren boys were in the mix from the off with total carnage taking place off the start line. Approx 12 – 15 riders wentdown and the field became splintered and both Ian and Mike were unfortunately caught behind the pile up :(. The leading group of riders sensing the crash put the hammer down and made sure no one got back on “That’s Racing Folks”.
However our boys chased hard and thoroughly enjoyed the experience in difficult conditions.
Well done both :).
