the Ystwyth CC time trial series.
With conditions better than the previous two rounds and the temperature rising, quicker times were
anticipated but the strong headwind would limit the chance of a course record going. It was also
good to see Pro Rider Gruff Lewis in attendance racing for the Ribble Pro Cycling team.
