At the top of the hill – Dave Clarke left, Dan Fleeman right
It was the last race of the season at the weekend. A three – four minute climb on Pea Royd Lane, Stocksbridge. The hill was pretty steep all the way up, with a nasty turn half way up. Like all National Championships it was a good event, well organised by Thurcroft CC. The road is closed to traffic and there were quite a few spectators on the 0.65 mile hill. It’s the kind of hill that really makes you suffer by the time you get to the top.

I finished 12th,10 seconds off 3rd place but 32 seconds off the winner, Dan Fleeman. Dan rides for Cervelo, a top European road team. His time for that hill is amazing.

A spectator, enjoying the racing.
At the top, all riders got a free bottle of water from the Co-op. At the sign on we got a free mug, so if that isn’t incentive to have a go next year, I don’t know what is.
