As usual particiapnts came from al cycling groups with mountain bikers, track and road riders, hill climb specialists to folding bike riders and even a unicyclist, who took over seven minutes to complete the 800m climb.
Senior winner was Ben Simmons (1m32.64s) of Team Wiggle who travelled from Wales to take part, however performance of the night was from storming vet John Storms whose winning time in the vets category was good enough for second place in the men’s ranking meaning he took home two prizes!
After the successful launch of digital timing in 2011 organisers operated starts every 30 seconds allowing them to increase capacity, which meant constant entertainment for spectators and introduced the possibilty of riders being caught during their individual efforts.
Winner of the Female Category was Jo Munden (1m 55.7s) and Jamil Gaida took the youth prize (1m45.77s)
