Road works on the Caersws – Llanidloes TT course led to a late switch to the Newtown 11.5 course. Event organizer Phil Paul did an excellent job of getting the word out about the change and the hastily rearranged event went well, with 23 riders taking the start
A warm and muggy night, the promised showers missed most of the field and the roads remained dry.
There was not much wind around and conditions were near perfect, even if the hot muggy air made it a tough night
Welsh Champs Women’s Road Race Silver Medallist, Rebecca Richardson, dominated the Women’s event with a fast 28:16, (fast enough for 7th overall )while Sahrah Wilding 34:37 and Louise Downward 34:43 scrapped it out for second and third
Bryn Davies continued his fine winning streak, his 25:13 put over a minute into second place rider Pete Thomas at 26:45 with Ian Nisbett rounding out the podium with 27:08
A great night’s racing made possible by the hard work of event organizer Phil Paul, and Marshals: Graham Harris, Jonathon Andrews and John Evans. Thanks from all the riders
A fine evening was capped by excellent cakes from Lea Richter, many thanks Lea (proceeds to Severn Hospice)
