CUCC Hillclimb

A noticeable headwind up the 1.7-mile drag from Fulbourn made for hard going - more of a TT than a hillclimb, really. We abandoned the 2-stage concept because of the surprisingly big field, ditching the short, easy, tailwind side! The sun shone, but the air in our lungs was distinctly chilly.

Thanks to everyone who turned up to make this event a success - not least to Duncan Alexander, Paul Roberts and Alex Higham, who helped with the timekeeping. The rather-longer-than-expected post-HC ride was a Saturday route, incorporating the time-honoured tradition of the freewheeling championship (from Hadstock hill down to Little Walden); this was won in imperious fashion by a smooth-rolling and aerodynamic Andy Cockburn.
