Hilly 21 Time Trial – Sunday 22nd March 2026
Sunday saw the latest edition of the traditional season opener, the CWCC “Hilly 21”. The weather was about as good as we could have hoped for — possibly the best conditions we’ve had for this event — and after what felt like an eternity, the roadworks and traffic lights on the course had finally gone, which was a relief all round.
Thanks to everyone who came out to ride, and to our marshals, timekeepers and helpers who gave up their Sunday to make it happen. We couldn’t do this without you.
Scratch Results
George Peden took the men’s win in a new course record of 43:32, knocking 10 seconds off his own previous record. CWCC’s own Charlie Tanfield was second and Ben Pease third.
In the women’s race, Bethany Brooksbank won the Scratch, with Louise Hamilton second and Sarah Foulds third.
