After numerous near misses and podiums Charles Coleman was finally king of Claverton Hill edging out Joe Norledge by just 0.5secs who in turn was only 0.4secs ahead of Jacob Pilkington.
Close times amongst the other categories was a real feature of the day as Becky Dodds of organising club VC. Walcot beat last year’s winner Kate Baker by 1 second with Emily Slavin 0.5secs behind.
The ever improving Morgan Curle won the Junior/Juvenile category with a time good enough to place him 12th overall. Phil Stonelake put in a top 10 ride to win the Vets and Bristol South CC capped off a strong overall performance, 4 riders in the top 25, to take the team prize.
As is customary there was vociferous support all along the roadside for the riders in one of the West DC’s best hill climbs. Thanks to all the riders, organisers, supporters and timekeepers (Paul Arayan and Dennis Davis).
