On a close to ‘perfect’ morning for this time of year there were lots of smiles around the result board. This was not just due to the bacon rolls eaten but from the large number of ‘pb’s’; the first three men amongst the many great rides.

David Crawley Fibrax Wrexham RC, a frequent visitor from the north nailed this one with a personal best of over 5 minutes to take the win by nearly 3 minutes with a time of 1:43:38. Second place went to Matt Burden Severn RC who posted an even greater improvement of almost eight and a half minutes to record a 1:46:23 to win the greatest improvement award. What a shame he does not have a 100 time to go with his Welsh CA 12 hour win to be well up in the BBAR.

The Women’s award was no surprise; Paula Mosely Climb on Bikes RT rode well within her best to ‘only’ do a 1:58:45 giving her a margin of over eleven minutes over the second woman. Daniel Thorogood Ystwyth CC clinched a closely fought Vets’ award with a ‘plus’ of 29:16: the Vets’ Standards most recent revision seems to be about right.

A surprising number of entrants had already finished their racing season and there was a bittersweet air from the ‘nearly’ teams who had 2 quick men but failed to get a third qualifying rider. The Team award was a fairly close run contest among the Welsh Clubs with Bynea CC getting it with Phillip Tucker, Darrel Williams and evergreen John Shehan finishing with a time of 6:00:06. Spare a thought for Luke Mosely who had the quickest ever DNF of less than one second with a catastrophic failure of his carbon fibre stem: lightning reflexes from pusher off Paul Robinson Ystwyth CC prevented an horrific injury.
