Report – Lyme RC Hillclimb (Mow Cop)

Sunday 11th October

This year’s Lyme Racing Club Hillclimb on the ‘Killer Mile’ at Mow Cop saw an event record 81 riders on the startsheet, including 19 under-18s.

Seven of 2014’s top 10 returned in 2015, including last year’s runner-up Matt Clinton (Mike Vaughan Cycles) and 3rd last year Joe Clark (Team Envelopemaster). Conditions were good with very little wind and dry roads and this would be reflected in the times recorded on the day.

Early starter Rob Howson (Leek CC) set the early pace with a time of 5:05.7 which would later place him 11th overall. Rob’s time was beaten by Jack Gilbert (Warrington RC) who would lead the event for 50 minutes, with an impressive 4:39.0 in his first hillclimb eventually netting 4th place.

Other early starters included the twelve under-16s in the field, with Louis Perry (Lyme Racing Club) taking the title in 5:26.9 – a new juvenile course record. Teammates Nikolas James and George Hancock took 2nd and 3rd juvenile prizes.

Dan Minor (Lyme RC) was the fastest junior, improving his own junior course record from 2014 to 4:59.3 to earn 8th overall. Max Spedding (PH-MAS Cycling) was the 2nd fastest junior on the day, and Gerald Henry (Cult Racing) taking 3rd junior.

Fastest over-40 went to Nick Despres (Guernsey Velo Club) with an impressive time of 5:02.3 (10th overall). Mike Guildford (Paramount CRT) took 2nd vet, and Paul Robinson 3rd vet and also a member of the winning team, with junior winner Dan Minor and juvenile winner Louis Perry the three counting riders.

Becky Lewis (Fibrax Wrexham RC) was fastest of the 13 ladies entrants, with her 5:29.8 setting a new ladies course record. Lou Bates (Cornac Planet X) took 2nd, with Victoria Grimmer (Paramount CRT) taking 3rd place.

Chris Dyke (Manchester BC) improved on last year’s 5th place, taking 3rd this year with 4:37.3. Matt Clinton took 2nd place at Mow Cop for the third year running with 4:25.0, with this year’s winner Joe Clark (Team Envelopemaster) recording an outstanding time of 4:12.9, trimming 7 seconds off Tejvan Pettinger’s course record from 2014.

I would like to extend my thanks to all helpers, marshals and officials who helped to make the event a success. Many thanks to all riders for supporting the event and I hope to see you all back at the 2016 edition.
