Here are some quick links to various forms:- Club membership 2010 CTT open event entry form ClubHandbook2010 South Wales open events 2010 CTT club signing on sheet TT finishing sheet 4th July 2010 Well done to all who took part in todays Pembroke Festival ride. A total of 50 riders braved the elements. Grateful thanks go to the marshals. The finishing times can be found here. 30th June 2010 Congratulations to the Velos for winning this years Inter-club challenge. The results are on the results page. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes. Thanks very much to all the marshalls who have helped out over the series and well done to all the riders, especially those who are new to time trialling. We are still trying to sort out an evening for the awards. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks. 26th June 2010 The results of the Pembrokeshire Velo hosted Pembrey Criterium are available here. Result Card - Pembrey Series 2010 cat 2, 3 and 4 Result Card - Pembrey Series 2010 cat 2 and 3 14th June 2010 The results of the tour of Pembrokeshire are here. Well done to all who took part. 3rd June 2010 Team points scores now available on the results page. Please check them and let me know if you spot any mistakes. 2nd June 2010 Wow!! What a great night of racing. 64 riders for the first inter-club competition of the season, excellent weather and some really fast times. The results are on the results page but it will take me some time to do the club points. But now the bad news. If your number was between 33 and 65 unfortunately your time was 1 minute slower than it showed on the sheet. This was because number 32 was missing and the starters didn't realise it. If anyone can see any errors on the results, please let me know. Well done to everyone. There were a number of time trial virgins and I hope you enjoyed it and will want to do it again. We are still looking at the date of the next interclub but it will not be in 2 weeks time, due to the continuing roadworks. We'll keep you posted. 28th May 2010 I have updated the club championship standings (on the 'standings' page) and also put up the latest handicap competition standings. Please check your results carefully and let me know if you find any errors. The rules of the competitions are at the bottom of the summary pages. 23rd May 2010 Congratulations to Jack Lear who was the fastest junior and broke the club junior 25 record with a 58.11 today on the R25/7 at Usk. The previous record had stood for 18 years. Also well done to Jon Lear for breaking the hour for the first time. A belated congratulations to Debbie Phillips who won the fastest lady and vet lady on standard at the Port Talbot Wheelers open 10 on 1st May. 3rd May 2010 An excellent turnout of club juniors for the Welsh GHS competition at Neath on Saturday and brilliant results. Luke Cornish (now Cwmcarn Paragon) posted the fastest time of the juniors but not far behind was Jack Lear. I'm pretty sure that Alex and Danny posted big PB's. Well done lads, here are the full results.
30th April 2010 Just a final reminder about membership, which was due on 1st January. The handicap competition starts next Wednesday and if you're not a member you won't score any points. Latest standings are now available on the standings page. 28th April 2010 We have a regular Monday night 'recovery/easy' ride from Bierspool Cycles in Pembroke Dock at 6.30pm. The route will be a circular route via Sageston, Devonshire Drive, Tenby, Lydstep, Lamphey, Pembroke. Nice easy pace. Ideal for those recovering from weekend racing or want to start out riding in a group. 8th April 2010 *VERY IMPORTANT* The time trial programme has changed. This is necessary due to roadworks near Pembroke Dock which affects 3 of our routes (PD10, the 15 and the 25). We have tried to salvage a '10' on the Pembroke Dock road. This will start in the layby near Bangeston Garden Centre, head towards Sageston roundabout, circle the Sageston roundabout, back to Carew roundabout and do this loop between the roundabouts twice before heading back towards Pembroke Dock and finishing just after Cosherston Garden Centre. The meeting place for this event will be at the layby near the Cemetary (on the A477 near Waterloo Industrial Estate). Because there will be traffic lights on this road for the whole of the summer we will have to be flexible with the start and we will not release riders into a stream of traffic. Start times will then be adjusted. For this season we will just be running only 10's for the club championship and the results will be based on the best 5 times. Below is a revised events timetable and also the event officials sheet. We are short of marshalls for many events. Remember, if you don't marshal at least 3 events through the season you will not qualify for any of the club competitions. Club TTs 2010 revised Event Officials 2010 revised 7th April 2010 The time trial results will now be posted on the results page. 5th April 2010 The Boutique page has been updated with the club kit in stock and the prices. If you want anything either in stock or not, please contact Dave Hawkins whose details are on the Boutique page. 4th April 2010 Here is the latest event officials list. Please note that there are some big gaps after next weekends TT so let's have some volunteers please. 11th March 2010 - club time trials Here is the latest list of people who have come forward to help out at the club events. Don't forget, if you don't help out at least 3 times during the season you will not qualify for the club competitions. So get your diaries out and phone me with your available dates. You will also know that there are long term road works on the A477 near Pembroke Dock. This affects number of our courses and we are looking at running alternative routes. Keep an eye on the website for details nearer the time. At this stage it looks like we will not be able to run any 15's or the 25's until the end of July. In which case the club championship will probably take the average of your 5 best 10 mile times. 26th Feb 2010 - facebook We now have a facebook page for the club (thanks to Jill Colman). It can be found at www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=312697586286 13th Jan 2010 - Club Time Trial Programme The 2010 club time trial programme can be found here, along with the officials form. Please feel free to e mail me with dates that you can marshal. Club TTs 2010 EventOfficials2010 7th Jan 2010 - membership The 2010 membership fees are now due. Kept at 2009 levels they represent excellent value for money. Download the form here then send it, with your fee, to Richard Martin. His address is at the bottom of the form. 18th Dec 2009 - 2009 awards night The 2009 awards night will be on Friday 26th Feb 2010, at the Freshwater Inn, Freshwater East. Probably a buffet again but we will let you have details closer to the time. If anyone has any trophies from previous years can you get in touch with Matt Grein on 07739 800177. 17th Nov 2009 - Matt Grein, London to Paris Matt Grein is planning on riding from London to Paris in July 2010. He is raising money for Action Medical Research, a great children's charity dedicated to improving the health of babies and children in the UK. If anyone has any fund raising ideas or would like to sponsor him, please visit the following webpage:- Sponsor Matthias Grein | Action Medical Research 16th Nov 2009 - Winter ride routes I have now plotted the routes from Memory Map as gpx files. If anyone knows how to download these to a Garmin please let me know. They are on the 'events' page. 12th Nov 2009 - Track cycling I have been given some details of track cycling at Carmarthen Track. Chris Bates at Bynea has asked me to let you know of junior training sessions which are held on Mondays 6 to 8pm and Thursdays 7 to 9pm. The cost is £1 per session and are open to all juniors. Normal road bikes are OK. Neil Hunt has asked me to let you know of senior sessions on Thursdays 7 to 9pm. Again normal road bikes and £2 per session. Not sure if this is going to be training or racing at this stage. Please note that these sessions are no held if it is raining, although the track dries out pretty quickly, I'm told.
