Port Talbot Whs 4- up 25 18th June
« on: May 01, 2015, 11:45:19 AM »
The unofficial Welsh team time trial championship is the Port Talbot Whs event on June 18th.  I am starting this thread now as it normally takes us a while to organise ourselves!  A club our size should be fielding at least three teams of differing abilities and it's also an opportunity to get a ride on a fast course.  So don't be shy.  Here are a few suggestions;

Mark Rosser/ Mark Nott/ Richard Jones/ Steven Madeley

Chris Goodwin/ Steve Landeg/ Haydn Lewis/ Andy Harries

Jason Turvey/ Neil Bartlett/ Terry Anthony/ Chris Reed

Paul Longthorn/ Richard Bowmer/ Mark Pope/Tony Mansell

Any more?

Simon Bird, Richard Beech, Andy Samuels, Will John, Ross Sheehan ?

Anybody else not on the list, don't be shy put your name forward and have a go, the more teams we can get together the better.

Can I suggest we get commitment from people, I have already spoken to a few, then possibly use club 10s as some sort of trial  (on the basis of last night I'd be instantly relegated  :-[ )
Using this as a suggestion to make sure people start coming along on a Thursday night!!

Then formalise the teams in 2/3 weeks time.

I think I'd be up for this. Time trialling doesn't really fit in with my plans this year but happy to make up the numbers. Fits nicely between the Cardiff Velothon and the Mumbles Triathlon for me and could be good practice for the latter.

Pencil me in please.
Having punctured on start line last year, I need to exercise the ghost.
Just need to get some miles in.

From experience its better to have a team riding similar bikes (tt/road); to this end i don't mind being part of a 4 up road mans team of similar ability if anyone wants to do this.

Good point Chris, a TT bike with a big front ring will leave a Compact rider behind on the slope. This TT will also be a good practice for the 3 up 30 TT later in the season, plus the numerous 2ups being held this year.

To Steven's point above - I didn't catch up weekend gone and so not touched base with anyone regarding a 4-some. I fancy giving it a go; anyone interested?

Not entered any of these before so hopefully someone will point me in the right direction.

Several people have posted on here and I've spoken to a few , in order to make sure you're in a team post on here or come along this Friday club night. Steven and I will arrange some teams of similar ability, possibly name a captain to contact any people who haven't confirmed.
We can then get teams together for a bit of coaching/practice before the event.
Unless rules have changed, all 4 members of team have to submit a separate entry form and payment, listing the other team members.
I will print out a few forms and bring along on Friday
