Lyme Racing Club Hillclimb, Mow Cop, Sunday 12th October 2014 - New record for the National Champion Tejvan Pettinger

EVENT PRESS RELEASE

This year’s Lyme Racing Club Hillclimb on the ‘Killer Mile’ at Mow Cop saw an event record 76 riders on the startsheet, including 14 under-18s. Seven of 2013’s top 10 riders returned in 2014, including last year’s winner Tejvan Pettinger (SRI Chimnoy Cycling Team) and runner-up Matt Clinton (Mike Vaughan Cycles). Early morning fog soon cleared to give us a great sunny morning for racing.

Early starter Mark Nulty (Manchester Wheelers) led the event for 40 minutes before eventually taking 16th overall – Mark had requested an early start so he could dash off up the M6 to ride the Rake hillclimb at Ramsbottom later in the day. Mark’s time was finally beaten by William Kershaw (Macclesfield Wheelers) who would take the 3rd fastest junior prize – Alex Copp (Lyme Racing Club) taking 2nd junior behind teammate Daniel Minor who set a new junior course record of 5:00.1, swiping two seconds off Jack O’Neill’s record from 2013 and quick enough for 9th overall.

Of the seven under-16s in the field, Joe Swinnerton (Lyme Racing Club) again claimed the fastest juvenile prize for the 3rd year running, his 5:31.7 just 0.4s outside his own juvenile course record. Swinnerton’s teammates Caleb Hill and Alex Coates took 2nd and 3rd juvenile prizes.

Nicola Soden (gbcycles.co.uk) was the fastest of the seven ladies entrants in a time of 6:02.4, ahead of Helen Eborall (Born to Bike – Bridgtown Cycles) and Fiona Prew (Stone Wheelers). Sandra Mackay (gbcycles.co.uk) missed out on 3rd by one second, but had the consolation of setting a new veteran ladies’ record of 6:46.1.

Fastest over-40 went to Tony Cope (Leek CC) who also took the prize in 2013. Chris Wilcox (Lyme RC) took 2nd vet, whilst Neil Skellern (Team Swift) broke his promise to never attempt to race up Mow Cop and was pleasantly surprised to take 3rd vet.

Chris Dyke (Manchester Wheelers) was the first rider to dip under 5 minutes this year – his time of 4:49.5 was matched exactly one minute later by Matt Cartlidge (Stone Wheelers) and the two riders would ultimately share 5th overall. 4th place went to Stu Marshall (Team Zenith – Buzz Cycles) just behind teammate Joe Clark who followed up his win in the Rutland CC hillclimb at Mam Nick the previous day by taking 3rd here with 4:28.9.

Matt Clinton took back the course record that Tejvan Pettinger had taken off him in 2013, setting a new mark of 4:22.8, just 0.1s quicker that Tejvan’s 2013 time. However, with the seeded riders off at the end of the field 2 minute intervals, Matt’s record would only last 1m58s before Tejvan set a new record of 4:20.4 to take the overall win.

I would like to extend my thanks to all helpers, marshals and officials who helped to make the event a success. Many thanks to all riders for supporting the event and I hope to see you all back at the 2015 edition. Lastly I’d like to wish the very best of luck to those competing in the National Hillclimb Championships in two weeks time – see you there!
