Dartmoor was the scene for the Mid Devon Cycling Club Hill Climbs, with riders facing the 3.1 mile ascent of Haytor in the morning, followed by the short,sharp 0.9 mile climb of Widecombe in the afternoon. The record for Haytor stands at 12-44, set by Jeff Williams back in 1979 when it was used for the National Championship; whilst the Widecombe record was set by Chris Boardman, also in a National Championship back in the 1990’s.
Riders were greeted by early morning mist on Haytor, and last year’s winner Ben Davis of BH Solidor WAM Youth, returned to defend his title. He was once again victorious recording a winning time of 13-21. He had half a minute in hand over RU Training Today junior Harry Luxton, who recorded 13.52, with Luxton’s team mate Owen Owens in third place with 13.54.
Ayse Vahiboglu of Exeter Wheelers recorded a fine 17.27 to take the ladies’ prize, just missing the ladies’ hill record by 11 seconds.
Davis continued his domination on Widecombe, recording 5-09 for 1st place, with Joe Norledge of Pro Cycling Magazine RT second in 05-24 and junior Jordan Channon of Tavistock Wheelers taking a fine third place with 05-35. Ayse Vahiboglu again took the ladies’ prize with a time of 07-09.
Overall honours went naturally to Davis with a combined time of 18-30, with nearly a minute in hand over Norledge, who beat Owens into third place by 10 seconds. Fourth placed Channon scooped the junior prize, with Vahiboglu the leading lady and the promoting Club’s Oliver Twigger winning the juvenile award. Leading vets were Owen Messenger of Exe Valley (40-49) and Malcolm Chave of Okehampton CC (over 50).
