Attack, Attack, Attack that hill!! Saturday saw Steyning Bostal host the Sussex Cycling Association Hill climb (that is part of the 2024 Strada TMC South Downs Hill Climb Series).
In the Open The Mitre (top 3 combined time of 14min 09.77 sec) were pipped into 2nd place by the specialist Hill Climbing Team of Elevate RT (13min 22.07 sec). Well done George Bentley (4min 19.68sec), Robb Cunningham (4min 50.44sec) and Jack Smith (4min 59.65sec).
Testament to the strength and depth of riders that turned up, Elevate couldn’t even get on the Open podium thanks to a blistering 3min 57.45sec ride by Matthew Ferguson of Redhill CC which was less than 3 seconds from taking the course record from Lukas Nerurkar. Matthew was backed up by his teammate Ben Elliot (4min 06.97) with Richard Cartland (Hunt Bike Wheels) in 3rd with 4min 19.51 sec.
In the female category Lucy Deschamps of Onxy RT rode to the win with 5min 09.89 sec.
Finley Andrews (4T+Cyclopark) won the youth with a time of 5min 04.3sec. Chapeau to all..
