| 20th Oct | Martin | Stocks Lane | V9919 | HC | 10.07 | Lantern Rouge of 22 | About 1 in 6 for a mile. I went really well for 100 yards then slogged my guts out for the other 1660. Perfect conditions-dry and sunny but, sadly, no tail wind. James Dobbin beat Dave Clarke by 1 second (and me by about 5 minutes). | |
| Halifax Lane | V9920 | 9.27 | Big Red Light | Two good hills. This one was steeper than Stocks Lane to start with but levelled off. Clarke beat Dobbin by 2 seconds to take the overall. Great prize list-everybody got one. Even the LR got a prize-a speedo which is now proudly displayed on my son's bike. | ||||
| 14th Oct | Martin | The Rake | L812 | HC | 4.21 | 49 from 52 | Massive crowd lining both sides of the road. 25% or 1 in 4 gradient. Another win for Jim Henderson (his 7th on this hill) at 2.29 beating James Dobbin into second by a second. 5 more to Dave Clarke in third. Bradley Wiggins failed to show, which meant I got inside the top 50!! | |
| 13th Oct | Ian | Jackson Bridge | V9912 | HC | 5.40 | 15 from 27 | Dave Clarke wins in 4:15. I was dissapointed to find out the the top few were all on their second race of the day. | |
| 6th Oct | Martin | Curbar | OHC5 | HC | 8.59 | 21 from 26 | Stuck in traffic. Arrived on start line at "30 seconds". Starter pinned on number as I reset speedo. Jim Henderson won in 5.27 so I'd still not have won even with a warm up. | |
| 30th Sep | Ian | Cat and Fiddle | J9/7 | HC | 25.40 | 28 from 97 | Just a faint touch of a headwind but I still managed to go slower than my previous time. Nobody else was going too quick though with a winning time of only 21:19 from Dan Soltys. | |
| 16th Sep | Martin | Long Hill | J9/13 | HC | 21.10 | 23 from 24 | Sunny but with a strong side wind. Dan Soltys won in 14.52. Not a steep hill, but a good steady climb. | |
| 9th Sep | Ian Shapiro | Snake Pass | J9/5 | HC | 15.25 | 13 from 31 | There were allegations of a tailwind although I never noticed it. A fantastic effort of 12:16 by James Dobbin - notable as this years national on Cheddar Gorge is not a disimilar gradient and length. | |
| Martin Pigott | 22.07 | One after second to last | Rear puncture before start. After fixing it, 35 psi was all I could get in. No warm up. Missed start. Brake block rubbing. Not a good ride. James Dobbin won setting a new course record. | |||||
