The sun came out and the wind blew favourably for the five riders that lined up for the final chance to test themselves on the faster flat route.
Caron flew around the Llety Gwyn 10 mile course to take a convincing win and only 23 seconds away from the club record set by Richard Pizzey in 2023. The second and third place was a battle of the road bike and TT bike, with Arwel Jones coming out on top by 13 seconds and Glyn Williams having to settle for third place and just missing out on the V60 record by 19 seconds, set by Tim Johnson 10 years ago.
In the ladies category, with just one rider this week, Anita Saycell came across the line dipping under the 27 minutes.
Thanks to Andy H, Scott and Elaine for their timekeeping and marshalling on the night, making the event possible for the riders.
Next week (4 September) is the final event of the series, the infamous 1 mile Clarach hill Climb, all riders (and supporters!) are encouraged to come along! Sign on details will be posted on the club Facebook page before the event: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ystwythcc
