EWCC Hill Climb
This years EWCC Hill Climb was blessed with beautiful sunny conditions. Although a tad chilly the conditions were pretty good for the riders taking on the 1.2 mile (1.93km) Stoke Hill Climb. We had a good turn out with 42 starters on the day and plenty of supporters out cheering the rioders on.
Best women’s time of the day went to Angharad Berriman of Penzance Wheelers CC who claimed top spot with a time of 6:20.
On the men’s side Luke Eggar of Wellington Wheelers CC took the honours with a time of 5:02.3.
EWCC had a good turnout with the top rider Gideon Aroussi getting a fine time of 5:17.8 (best Veteran time of the day). With Finlay Webb (1st in the para category) and Michael Mason-Saunders (top Junior) also putting in strong performances EWCC were able to take the team prize.
