Steve, Will you do the timing/recording at the turn?, I'll volunteer Rich Bowmer to come with you, so you can share marshaling and recording duties.

OK with that Rich?

You'll need to meet at Hirwaun first to get a copy of start sheet and instructions off Terry/Tony M

Yes, I'm good with this. See you Sunday morning.

Nigel, can I drop off a couple of cakes 🍰 for Mission Control, I can drop them this evening, what number house?

[ron b]

Plan F, cakes will not be ready for transporting this evening, so can someone stop at Aberdulais roundabout from 8 30 tomorrow to pick up the “iced” cakes, if not, me, Tony and Roy will eat them.

[Steven]

I will do this important job!

I see we have young Backstedt off 4th, is he the first TdF stage winner and Paris Robaix winner to take part in a Oggie event, lots of riders who haven’t I suppose, but none come to mind. He past me once on the Llanharan road and I thought I was doing well.

Terry., change of plans means I can now assist. See you in the morning 

[Teresa]

All the very best for the event tomorrow.

Looks like the weather is going to behave for you.

[Terry A]

Well - another Carl Roach and another excellent event.

A massive thanks to all those who stepped up and gave their time to make yesterday a complete success. It's been said before but I will say it again - without you guys 'n' girls there is no event.

A bit cold especially early on and I know the marshalls in particular were ready for some coffee and cake when finally back in HQ - you earned it !! Despite the chilly start and the easterly breeze there were some excellent performances and the riders were very positive about the event.

Attached for your info are the result files.

Thanks again to you all.

[Steven]

Good organisation, signage, marshalling and of course cake!

Good ride as well from Neil Poulton, representing the OVW.

What a superb event.
The Curse of Carl's secret powers are usless against an OVW team effort.
Well done everyone.
