Sunday the 15/09/2013 saw the third year of the race the train event organized by Welshpool Rotary Club.
HCC were out in force and the following did battle with the train:-

Peter Thomas
James Akehurst
Bryn Davies
39 riders lined up on a somewhat wet and blustery day to race the 11:15 train from Welshpool station at Raven square to the station at Llanfair Caereinion, a distance of just over 9 miles.
A well marshalled event along what could be described as a challenging course, with plenty of climbing.
Of the 39 cyclists, only 11 managed to beat the train, with the fastest time being 34.45 minutes by Hafren cyclist – Bryn Davies
The train coming in at 46.40 minutes in 12 place.
The train being deemed to have won the race having beaten more than 50% of the field.
