The latest running of the “Hilly 21” took place on Sunday 24th March. We were blessed with decent weather, light wind and no unforeseen roadworks or blockages on the course, which is always nice.
Congratulations to Cleveland Wheelers’ very own Toby Tanfield who came home in first place overall this year with a very decent time of 45:37, beating Marcel Schubert (Darlington CC) and Toby Simpson (Team Bottrill) into second place & third places respecively.
The road bike contest was even more hotly contended with Ross Turner (Leadout Performance) beating Rob Carter (Cleveland Wheelers) by just two seconds, the top three being completed by Adam Pincder of Teesdale CRC.
The Female contest was won by Kate Sanderson (Cleveland Wheelers) ahead of Annabel Sill (Cleveland Wheelers) and Deborah Jeffries (Manilla).
There were strong showings in the Junior/Youth section too with Daniel Thompson (Cleveland Wheelers) leading home Elliot Holt (Fietsen Tempo) and Lewis Maynard (Cleveland Wheelers).
Finally, Stephen Newton and Anthony Harrison (Stockton Wheelers) romped home in the Tandem contest.
Many thanks to everyone who entered, and to the timekeepers, marshals, organisers, photographer, kitchen staff and other helpers who all made it another successful event.
