Hafren Cycling Club trio prepare for the prestigious French time-trialing event the Chrono des Nations which will take place on 20th October 2019.
Emma Serjeant, Sam Holwill and Louise Hurdley, all members of Hafren Cycling Club are currently training for the UCI Chrono des Nations, an elite race against the clock in the town of Les Herbiers twinned with Newtown where they will go head to head with some of the world’s leading time triallists. Previous winners of the event have included Chris Boardman, David Millar and Tony Martin.
This will be Emma’s third trip to Les Herbiers for the event. Emma is currently the Welsh Masters Time Trial Champion and is hoping to set a personal best at the event and looking forward to being reunited with her French friends made through the Newtown Twinning committee and hosts from previous years.
Sam and Louise will visit Les Herbiers for the first time in October. Sam is currently the Welsh Youth Hill Climb Champion and regularly travels the length and breadth of the country competing in UK National Road Races. Sam will progress on to the Junior ranks next year and hopes to gain a place on a race team and compete regularly in Europe on the road.
Louise, who is relatively new to time trialing, is excited to be racing on the international stage and the trio are thoroughly looking forward to the amazing opportunity.
