New course, new road signs and some new faces. The Drumbo Hill course is about 2 miles uphill with some tight gradients over the last 800m. No shortage of volunteers for timekeeping either.
PB's were awarded to everyone except for World Champ Desi who did some legendary time back in 1981 when bikes were heavier and the Drumbo Hill was a bit longer and steeper!
Thanks to everyone for not blocking any roads and giving cycling a good name for once.
No changes at the front from last week. Paul Carroll came home first and Emma was top female again. Not that I have any qualifications to judge but I would give man and woman of the hill to John McManus and Heather Bamford respectively. It is starting to look like McManus has got the edge on rival Glen Pollock who did not compete tonight due to a minor sniffle.
