Ystwyth CC report – round 14 – Wednesday 4th July
As we enter the month of July, riders get side-tracked watching Wimbledon, the Fifa World Cup or even the Tour de France, but not the Ystwyth CC time-trialists! With a slight change in the weather and the sun disappearing behind the clouds, round 14 saw 18 riders register for the Llety Gwyn 10 mile time trial which proved to be a fast night with many riders setting new personal best times.
In the men’s event, Gruff Lewis took the win and a fantastic new course record in a time of 20.55 min. Second place went to Ieuan Andy Davies in a time of 22min 23sec, and third place to Steffan Roberts in a time of 22min 57sec.
In the women’s event, Anita Saycell took the win in a time of 25min 47sec. Second place went to an up and coming younger rider Lowri Richards, in a time of 27min and 57sec, and third place to Katie Miles in a time of 28min 45sec following her win the day before on the Caron Cycling Club 10 mile course.
In the road bike category, Arwel Jones took the top spot in a time of 24min 14sec. Second place went to Alex Lowe in a time of 26min 31sec and third place went to Lowri Richards in a time of 27min 57sec.
Next week the event returns to the Cwm Rheidol course with a start time of 7:00pm.
