The ten riders that lined up for the start were treated to perfect conditions for the Cwm Rheidol 10 mile time trial.
It was going to be an exciting evening with battles for podium places as well as age group places!
Caron took his sixth win this year, finishing in a fantastic 22.09 for a well earned first place podium position. Arwel Jones and Paul Brewer had an exciting battle for the remaining podium places. Arwel ended up edging out Paul by 3 seconds to take second place, with Paul taking third place.
Glyn Williams made a return to the time trials on his road bike, placing an impressive 4th overall, in 25.32 and in doing so, set a new V60 club record. Second in the road bike category David Bond, jumping from strength to strength, smashed his previous time and crossed the line in 27.15. While Martin Williams, despite being edged out of the V70 battle on the night, by Mike Fitch who was riding strongly, took the 3rd road bike category podium.
For the women’s race it was great to see Lois back at the time trials, after a winter of swapping wheels for skis. It was a exciting battle between the two women, Emma and Lois, with Emma taking the win on the night with 25.39 and Lois in second with 26.26.
