Many thanks to all the competitors who turned out for this event. Numbers are down in general for TTs across the region, and so it was here too, with the lowest turnout to date. There were event clashes that contributed to this (particularly the local CX event), and we hope we can avoid this next year. I would encourage everyone to try to tempt friends and fellow club members into TT & hillclimbs wherever possible. 

Many thanks too to all the marshals, timekeepers, and event HQ helpers, without whom the event could not have taken place. 

Finally, a thank you to all the spectators who lined the hill and provided a great atmosphere and a lot of “encouragement” to the competitors. 

The event was won by Elliott Holt, still a junior, who also broke his own course record for juniors. Tom Harcourt pipped Richard Lilleker by just two seconds to claim second spot. 

The female event was won for the second year running by Gemma Mitchell, triumphing over Louise Hamilton and Deborah Jefferies. Full results have been uploaded to the CTT site, and the prize breakdown is given below. Winners will be contacted by email to provide bank/PayPal details for payment of prize money. 

Many thanks to you all.

Hi Wheelers. Next Sunday 21st September is the premiere event of the year, the Castleton 50 in 4.  Continuing with the new start at Ayton high green car park with the finish at the Dudley arms Ingleby Greenhow. So basically we will roll out along Fletchers lane to join the existing course on Easby lane. Head up to Ingleby and Clay steep side, Helmsley, Kirbymoorside, Blakey ridge, descend in to Castletown and take the 2nd left over the cattle grid to Dibble bridge, out on to Hob Hole Climb, artists cottage, Kildale, Battersby, with the route finishing at the top of Stone stoop hill and sign off at the Dudley arms. As usual with the challenge rides, part of the challenge is being prepared, navigating the route and finishing within the 4hrs cut off time. This is not a lead ride, however I am expecting ability groups will form in the car park. Please arrive in good time to sign on and be ready to roll out for 09:30. If you can all try and depart in speed order with the fastest riders first please, and remember to keep your riding neat and tidy.

Unfortunately I am unable to attend this year as I’m am taking part in some triathlon thing at Barnard castle. John kelly will be there as usual to do the sign on admin, with Gavin Chatto guest officiating for me to brief you with your ride instructions. So please pay attention, and remember “it’s not a race”!  Enjoy the ride. Follow the link below for further details. 

Thanks, Dave K
