The list of finishers and e-certificates for the above event are now on our website at Rides/Challenge Rides/Mountain/Finishers 2024.
Thanks to everyone who took part. If I’ve misspelt anyone’s name then please let me know.
Hi wheelers, it’s the next of our challenge ride series this Sunday, and the tough one! The Paul Christon Mountain challenge. Departing from Ayton high green car park 09:30 with 3 routes to choose from, standard, plus and killer! Please arrive in good time to sign on ready for the 09:30 roll out straight up Gribdale as a leg loosener. Finishing at Fletchers farm cafe with a cut off time of 5hrs 30 mins. Please arrive well prepared and familiar with the route as this is not a lead ride. however ability groups will no doubt form very quickly. Tourists trial points available regardless of route choice. 1 point for completing the route within the cut off time, one point for fully fitted mudguards, and one point for a proper saddle bag or bar bag that is able to contain a small flask and a sandwich. Please see the link to the website below for routes and further details. Thanks, and see you all there. Dave K
P.s. for anyone not wishing to ride, I am looking for 2 or 3 volunteers as gate openers on gribdale. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
We’re in the process of updating the website with new logos and colour scheme. Please bear with us, it may take some time to complete.

CWCC “Hilly 21” 2024
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.
Full results can be found here.
