Riders were treated to dry weather for the last chance to test themselves on the Cwm Rheidol 10 mile course for 2019.  With conditions fairly good, it would be interesting to see what riders could pull out of the bag with their last chance to improve on their course times. In the ladies road bike […]

It proved to be a fast night on the Llety Gwyn 10 mile TT course, with personal best times and course records broken. The men’s overall podium was a battle with the top four riders all under the 24 minute barrier. The current men’s senior record set by Shelley Childs in 1996, was equalled tonight […]

With traffic lights still on the course at Devil’s Bridge, it meant that the riders would be ‘treated’ to a much shorter time trial.  With the revised route starting at Southgate and climbing continuously to the finish, it may have been shorter but definitely not any easier. With eight riders taking on the course in […]

With soaring record temperatures throughout the UK, it was going to prove a night of hot competition. The men’s road bike category saw Adam Hepburn burn away the competition to take the win and 4th overall with 24.14.  It was great to see Shelley Childs return to the TT scene and take the second place […]

A return to the fastest of the local courses saw six riders take on the evening club 10 mile time trial.  It looked to be a fast night with the overall men’s event dominated by Ieuan Andy Davies in a time of 22.28 edging closer to his own V50 record set last year.  Steffan Roberts took […]

With the Tour de France and the Ystwyth CC Time Trial season in full swing, riders are always hoping for that one night when good form and good weather combine together to produce personal best times. With 10 riders taking on the scenic and slightly rolling 10 mile course following the Rheidol valley it was […]

This event organised by Andy Hunt saw the 15 riders battling for the Club Championship honours.  It was great to be able to use Caffi Gruff in Talybont as the race HQ.  Riders were able to sign on and enjoy a pre-race coffee. The pre-entries meant that the riders were seeded with their start time […]

Another breezy night met the 16 riders on the faster of the club time trial courses, starting from Llanbadarn.  Apart from the breeze, the sun and warmth made it a great night. The men’s road bike competition (no tri bars) was hotly contested with the top three riders all within a minute of each other. […]

With the warm summer weather, it was great to see the 16 riders deciding to tackle this week’s hilly time trial. The riders had to contend with gusty North Easterly winds which tested the rider’s bike handling and choice of equipment, with many riders choosing a road bike over a TT bike for the course. […]

With the promise of a good evening, it was great to see new faces as well as returning riders taking on the Llety Gwyn 10 mile course. The men’s road bike category saw Rhys Evans taking the win in a fast time of 24.25, followed by Mike Sherman in 26.15 and up and coming junior […]
