Tom leads on his local lump!

Event number 13 in the Beech House Dental Practice Time Trial League was the Darley Head Hill Climb, starting outside the now closed Darley Mill Centre and finishing at the summit, just before Prospect Farm. The climb involves 112 metres of ascent over the 1.1-mile distance.

The weather was mild with a strong cross wind. Only 2 riders signed on from Harrogate Nova, both on road bikes.

Tom Rowlay blitzed the climb in 4:34 with Steve Clarkson in 6:56. It’s Tom’s local hill so we expected a good time from him, and he didn’t disappoint!

Thanks go to Margaret and Vaughan Carswell with Paul Coyle for making the event happen.

This Saturday sees last event in the league, a 4-mile hill climb up to Scarhouse Dam near Lofthouse, Pateley Bridge, followed by lunch at How Stean Gorge Café. We hope to see you all there.
