HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN!!!

Special Birthday Greetings to our most experienced member.  Our good chum Colin celebrates the big seven-five this week - many happy returns from all the members of Velo Teifi Cycling Club

VTCC events:

A recent venture was the Preseli Teifi Cyclo Sportif  - probably the most beautiful event in the UK.   The weather tried to spoil the middle of the day, hiding the views from our visitors, however most riders agreed the event was a good one and most have vowed to return and 'Tame the Beast' next year.

Many congratulations to Wayne Long of Velo Teifi who slayed the long course and humbled the rest of us with a spectacular ride and a frankly unbelievable time of 4 1/2 hours.

The full results lists will be published here soon.
The Velo Teifi CC Diary
Stuff we've done or are planning to do.
Sunday, 20th July: Next planned Ladies Ride.

Sunday, 13th July: Next planned club ride

Sunday, 6th July: Merida MTB Marathon, Builth Wells.  See Links Section.

Tuesday, 1st July: Criterium Racing at Pembrey Circuit.  7p.m. start time, we'll be there at 6.15 onwards.  Cost you around £20 for those without racing licences

Sunday, 30th June: Good turn out for a run to Llangrannog for coffee and carrot cake.  However, the ride did give birth to a new feature on this site - a feature that, if your name should appear, you can expect the scorn of all your fellow club members... see Hall of Shame....

Sunday, 22nd June: Another splendid turn out by the girls.  And guess what?  Yep, another fallen tree encountered and dispatched with!

Tuesday, 3rd June: Criterium Racing at Pembrey Race Circuit.  A strong performance by the attendant VT members.  Great fun - watch out for the next dates...

Sunday, 1st June: A splendid turnout!  with numbers approaching 20, the VTCC peleton ruled the roads all the way to Newport and back. Nice one.

Monday, 2nd June: A tough 2.5 hours spent exploring the joys of CarnIngli and Dinas Mountain - local MTB heaven!

Sunday,  18th May 2008: A cracking day out, Gromit!  Blue skies, warm sunshine, double figure turn out and full fat latte's all round. Hangovers cured and garish kit on display.  Proper cycling!  Well done to all who put their faith in the Chairman's route planning; Nevern and Moylgrove hills?  Pah! We laugh at such pitiful challenges

Sunday, 25th May 2008: Proving hardier than hardier things, the ladeez did indeed venture out on that cold and wet Sunday morning and, by all accounts, enjoyed a fairly pleasant ride to boot!  Well done to those tough souls who have made the Chairman look even more pitiful than usual... Not only did the girls wade through raging torrents, they also negotiated fallen trees with a hop, skip and a jump! Hopefully the VTCC Lady contingent will continue the impressive turn out through the summer months.
