On a beautiful evening riders from The Mitre, Horsham Cycling and Preston Park Youth met to take on Mill Hill.
Here are the results of tonight’s Hill Climb, with a Mitre top three of Cosmo Derangi blasting up the hill in a blistering 7min 27.5 sec to take the win, Jack Smith (8min 12.9sec) second and Giles Ruffer (8min 47.8sec) third. Youth rider Jack Palton PPYCC (9min 03.8sec) was 4th and Gemma Lewis (9min 55sec) of SRVC won the Female Cat.
Whilst we were up on Mill Hill we noticed smoke and flames coming from just north of Steyning. This turned out to be Mitre Marek Shafer cranking his 56T chainring and lighting the afterburners to the win the Brighton Excelsior 5TT in 10min 12sec. His wingman on the evening was John Tindle who rode to third with 10min 53sec. Both were on road bikes and managed to ride the TT so quickly they still had time to ride to the start of Mill Hill before we’d finished. Sadly both politely declined the offer of a late entry for the Hill Climb.
We return to Mill Hill on Tuesday 29th at 7pm for the second edition. Details here..
