Cycle Club Sudbury Press Report for East District Cycle Association Hill Climb Championship
(Incorporating CC Sudbury Hill Climb Championship)
Cycle Club Sudbury held the E.D.C.A. Hill Climb Championships (Sunday 19th October) at the Semer Hill near Hadleigh.
Bringing the event date forward by two weeks and offering cash prizes of nearly £600 which included equal monies to both male and female riders, helped secure a record entry of 76 riders. Heavy early morning rain left the course very wet and covered with a blanket of leaves, which was cleared in time before the first riders appeared. As ever, a very large gathering of spectators lined the hill and were probably worth a few extra seconds off the rider’s times with their enthusiastic vocal support.
Fastest time of the day was set by a young rider from the juvenile category, Frank Longstaff (Colchester Rovers CC), who is on British Cycling’s Olympic Talent Squad, in 48.9secs. Second fastest was Tim Weller (University of Exeter CC) in 48.2secs followed by Lewis Symes from the relatively newly formed club of Manningtree Wheelers CC in 48.8secs.
Only 1/10th of a second slower was the organising club’s own Lee Ford which was an outstanding effort. Jason Bouttell (Team Velovelocity.co.uk) and Dominic Schils (Zannata Racing Team) rounded off the top 6 positions with 49.0 and 49.2 respectively.
The Ladies prize was won by Samantha Segger from the nearby Boxford B C who got under the minute with a time of 59.4secs. Becky Ridge (Manningtree Wheelers BC) took second spot with 63.2secs and third place went to Tanya Griffiths (Starley Primal Pro Cycling) in 66.6secs.
The team competition went to Manningtree Wheeler BC, with Ipswich BC taking 2nd place and also the E.D.C.A. Hill Climb Team Championship. Interbike Veloschils RT took 3rd place.
Not only did Lee Ford win the CCS Hill Climb Championship, but also secured the E.D.C.A. Hill Climb Championship to complete an excellent days work! Young Charlie Felstead won the CCS Schoolboy Hill Climb Champions Shield in a time of 64.3secs. Finally, as there is a one rider per prize rule and Longstaff had already won overall, the winner of the fastest Junior/Juvenile went to Oliver Jones (Ipswich BC).
