Title: Port Talbot Wheelers 4up TTT Thursday 22nd June
Post by: Andy H on April 17, 2017, 09:56:46 PM
As Ron has noted in the VTTA forum post, the PTW 4up TTT is coming up in June.
This is a great event for teams of 4, at which the club has won the veterans prize in previous years.
It's very popular so important to get entries in early.
If you're interested please post ASAP, to let me know and I'll get together with Steven to put some teams together.
If you don't post please don't be upset if you're not included.
Alternatively if you have a team of four, please get the entry in and post here to say who the team members are.

As Harpo says, Steven has just thrown some names in the ring.

Dave already out of A team, so somebody will move up and I'm sure not all those listed will make it. 

We'll see how people go in the club 10s, for a couple of weeks and formulate a plan!

This has all escalated very quickly, I've only been a cyclist again for 10minutes. Probably in.

Post by: Andy H on May 10, 2017, 12:54:18 PM
I've noted the responses on the forum and I'll speak to as many people as possible at Club 10 tomorrow night 11th) and get firm commitment.

I believe one of the team will have to take on responsibility of putting the entry in and the remaining team members will get an email from CTT to make their payment

We need to get the entries in asap, or it'll fill and you won't get a ride!

Steven, Richard and Greg are setting up the team entries, for their respective teams. Other riders should then receive an email, from CTT to complete their entries. Assuming entry is accepted!

Craig has opened his account with a 21:44, according to Ron. That's a minute faster than my best so far this season. Suggest we swap!

If Ajax enter 13 teams as they have done in  the past, you may need to get your skates on.

Definitely up for that, harbour way or the course sound good. We could also try the club 10 as a 4? And all practice on bars yes?

On the night result -
Team 14 - Richard Bowmer, Craig Macdonald, Terry Anthony, Paul Nicholas  =  54mins. 01 seconds.

Team 25 - Gregory Brett, Tony Mansell, Nigel Williams, Reece Adams =             57mins. 44 seconds.
 
Team 37 - Steven Madeley, Rob Powell, Mark Rosser =                                      55mins. 10 seconds.

Well done everyone for a series of very good rides on a hard night on R25/3H.
Steve Curry gave up his ride when he stopped on the way to the event to help an injured cyclist.  All credit to you Steve! Well done.

Big thanks to Paul Craig and Terry for a great ride and time last night, needless to say I didn't spend too much time on the front.
