Andy Cunningham (All Terrain Cycles) continued his run of blistering hill climb form, winning the Yorkshire RC Cragg Vale event on Sunday afternoon.
He beat Kieran Savage (B38-Underpin Racing) into second place, in a repeat of the morning’s result at Huddersfield RC’s hill climb. This time the margin was a more substantial ten seconds over the 4.8 mile climb.
Cunningham’s winning time of 14.07.7 also took nearly twelve seconds off Tejvan Pettinger’s 14.19.5 course record set in July 2014, with Savage’s 14.17.1 also just inside the old marque.
Third placed Eugene Cross (SSLL Racing Team) slashed a minute and a half of Kieran’s Junior record of 15-18.7, set in October 2015.
The first two women were also inside the course record. Charlotte Gorman (Bury Clarion) won with a time of 18.02.5, with Helen Roby (HD Revolutions) finishing second in 18.22.8, compared to Clare Munton’s record of 18-24.2, also set in October 2015.
A strong cross tailwind on the long stretch over the open moorland to the finish, combined with decent weather for the time of year resulted in the string of new course records on the V9916.
Mike Cross (Yorks RC) and son Eugene (SSLL RT) riding the course for the 2nd time in the afternoon also reduced the figures for the Tandem Record by 45 seconds with 16-44.1.
