A week after winning at Monsal, Jack Pullar went south from Lancashire to break the record for the Bec CC Hill Climb and take home some very valuable prizes!
Organised by Garmin-Sharp soigneur Gary Beckett on his birthday, the race had a record crowd, a new race record at the fast end and at the other end, a new record for the slowest! With what must have been one of the best ever prize lists for a Hill Climb thanks to Garmin and Sharp, there was plenty of incentive for the riders to race hard up the steep slopes to be the fastest to the top.
After having beaten the likes of Russell Downing and Gunnar Gronlund the week before, Jack Pullar was expected to be quite special in the race and he was certainly that. Earlier, the organiser Gary Beckett had said on twitter he didn’t expect the record to go due to a headwind but Jack pulled out all the stops to break it by the narrowest of margins and claim the big prize.
In second was British Champion Gunnar Gronlund of RST Clothing/Trigon Bikes with Jake Hales of IG Sigma Sport in third. Lydia Boylan won the first lady prize.
The race also saw many a celebrity ride. Former professional and now a DS at Garmin Sharp, Alan Peiper rode it on behalf of his friend and organiser Gary and he finished in 43rd place. Not that far behind came an even big celeb in Britain, Ned Boulting, author and TV presenter of cycling events who put in a pretty respectable time! And then there was the organiser, Mr Beckett, who finished last and slowest. As he said afterwards, “it’s my birthday, I had to win something!”
His event certainly does seem to have won the hearts and minds of the cycling fan in the South East!
