Despite challenging conditions Joseph Clark (Envelopemaster-Giant Sheffield) broke his own course record for the AHC1 hill-climb at Riber, near Matlock, in Derbyshire on Sunday.
The 24-year-old from Belper clocked 3:17.9 to take around four seconds from his own record for the hill set in last year’s event.
He was 20 seconds quicker than anyone else up the steep hill, while defending national champion Maryka Sennema (Paceline RT) was the fastest of the women with 4-23.5.
The tarmac was wet for the duration of the event following overnight rain, which left debris on the course. But Clark deflated his tyres sufficiently to give him maximum grip, and only felt his tyres slip on one occasion as he powered up the hill.
Second spot went to Rhos on Sea CC rider Kieran Wynne-Cattanach who was 19.3 seconds adrift of Clark, while Jack O’Neill (Team B38-Underpine Racing) was third, another 1-3 seconds back.
Sennema’s time was 21 seconds quicker than her nearest rival for the women’s category, with Fiona Burnie (Bishop Auckland CC) finishing second and Anita Cavell (WCS Racing Team) third, more than 30 seconds further back.
But later the same day Burnie turned the tables on Sennema and took the win on Bank Road.
