A glorious morning at High Ham greeted the riders that came out to contest the annual hill climb.
Cheered on by the club run riders, the 13 contestants tackled the ascent of Ham Hill, collapsing just outside the pub at the top! Fastest overall was Ashley Gray, riding as a YCC day member (if you had joined Ashley you would have the trophy!) with a sub 3 minute ride. He was followed by TriUK’s Will Rendell. The first qualifying YCC riders were James Lewis, first home, followed by Ed Pyke, Ian Wallis, Adrian Corbett, Tory Black and Mark Edwards.
