2020 Time Trials and Celtic Series

[RichardB]

I’m planning on riding part of the first one this weekend but the road from Talgarth to Tretower is currently closed due to a land slide caused by the flooding. Not sure if that is a factor?

Martin has now posted an update on the OVW Facebook page

[stevelandeg]

Just in case you are unaware, organisation of this year's Celtic Series will be disrupted due to issues beyond Martin's control.
As a result of this, cover has been provided for most of the races he's involved in by members of the South Wales District Committee.
Some were deemed unworkable and, consequently, cancelled.
This may impact on the club's own activities and Norman is in the process of amending the proposed calendar.

I know we were planning on meeting up this Friday, but it's turned into a bit of a crazy week I'm struggling a bit. With the committee meeting being this week, we may be better postponing anyway, though if there's plenty still going you can have a bit of a catch up and a plan :-)

Catch you soon,

Neil

Hi Neil,

I was going to suggest having a chat after the committee meeting, I'll see what interest there is and maybe plan to meet on a 'normal' club night.

Anybody interested in open time trials, Celtic series, 12 hour cyclone, 4 man TT event please attend club night this Friday and we can have a chat, after the committee meeting.
So whether you want to enter a TT for the first time or are an experienced time triallist please come along for a chat

I'm with Neil on this - I myself will be unable to attend this Fri, but am keen to be part of the club team strategy/initiative for a season plan. Re-org of the Celtic series may indicate a bit of a re-think, but feel the idea of a planning meeting is still valid on a regular club meeting night (?) sometime soon. Suitable date? Cheers

Travelling this evening unwise. Let's make another date

[Andy H]

Next Friday 6th March?

[RichardB]

[NeilRhys]

I can make it this week...hope we don't get another monsoon!!!

See you there :-)

[geoffh]

I'm available too, what time suits everyone?

[NeilRhys]

Hi all,

Steady start to our campaign for the TT season, but was great to catch up with a few of the 2020 TT crew at the club last night :-)

I think the most important point that was made was to put out some info around when we need to sign up for the TT's and get some communication on who is going so others can see it and hopefully more will join in. So we can post on here and maybe on the Facebook page to encourage people to get over to the CTT website and enter the events.

Happy Training,

Neil
