Back to the regular 10 mile distance a week later, and Danny Thorogood, fresh from riding the British 10 mile Championships where he finished a creditable 73^rd out of 108 finishers with a time of 22.08, was again first with 22.48.

Jeff Saycell again showed strongly, distancing himself from the rest with 24.38 leaving former series winner Paul Robinson in third with 25.04.

Paul Brewer had to settle for fourth this week, scoring a PB in the process as did Euros Jones (25.40).

A hotly contested 26minutes category was won by Martin Saycell with Jasmine Sharp first female with 26.52 to take the lead in the female competition.

Colin Armstrong was too strong for Dai Clarke to win the 27 minute category, with a returning Leif Skot in third and junior Emyr Hopkins rode a personal best of 29.10 for fastest 29 minute time.

Brewer comes of age

On a rainy evening which tested the riders motivation, bike handling and cold weather tolerances, Paul Brewer put his months of training into action by winning his first Ystwyth time trial.
The hilly 24 mile course took the riders from Southgate in Penparcau to Devile Bridge and back towards Aberystwyth on the A44 to finish at Lovesgrove.
Of the fifteen riders who braved the elements, it was only Brewer who managed the magical sub hour time with 59.51, relegating Jeff Saycell into second (1.01.10) with Matt Ingham in third place with a surprising 1.03.54
