Sam & Frances take Mens and Womens honours...
Conditions for the 2021 Club Hill Climb Championship, held on Staughton Moor, on Sunday 17 October weren't particularly favourable, with a headwind and rain, and so the Club record, which was set last year by Sam with a great time of 4:00 dead, was unlikely to be challenged, but riders still gave it their best.
The top 10 were:

So, particular congratulations to our podium finishers:
- Sam for retaining his crown as King of the Hill, taking his personal tally to 4 hill climb championships and matching the achievements of Richard Ostler from a few years ago;
- Simon for pushing him hard in second;
- Liam, who only joined the club this week, for a very creditable third place.
Congratulations also, to Frances, the new Queen of the Hill.
