MDCC's Pete Weir finished 8th on Saturday in the Methyr CC's 25 on the fast South Wales course. His time of 51:59 just scraped inside 52 minutes. This is his fastest time this year and only 1 minute 24 secs outside his all time pb and current MDCC Club record  of 50:35 set on a faster  variant of the course last year.

Winner  was Nic English from Reading CC in 49:32.  Pete travelled down to the event with Nic and he told me that Nic is on top form at the moment. A remark that was confirmed by his 30 mph ride.  My money is on Pete producing a sub 50 minute ride this year as well to take the MDCC Club '25' record above 30 mph for the first time ever.
