Having lost out to his rival in the day’s earlier climb, George Fowler (NFTO) gained revenge with victory in Mid-Devon CC’s hill-climb at Widecombe in Devon on Saturday afternoon.
Junior rider Ashley Towey (Mid-Devon CC) had won the morning’s longer climb of Haytor, but Fowler was clearly better over the shorter 0.9-mile course at Widecombe in the Moor, clocking 5.06.9 to win by almost 20 seconds from Towey, while Laurence Douglas-Greene (Somerset RC) was third.
Having also won the women’s category in the morning climb, Wiebke Rietz (1st Chard Wheelers) powered to another victory. She covered the course in 8.01.5 to win that category by 31 seconds from Hannah Rainger (North Devon Wheelers).
