Glyndwr Griffiths won the Chippenham and District Wheelers hill-climb at Bowden Hill on Saturday.

The 32-strong field riders had to contend with heavy rain and difficult conditions, but Griffiths of 73 Degrees Bicycles came out on top, stopping the clock in a time of 4:53.84.

The Welshman had never previously been inside the top five at the event, so it was a strong performance to claim the victory by a substantial eight second margin.

It was a lot closer behind Griffiths however, as Andrew Kirby (University of Bristol CC) and Charles Coleman (DRK Racing) could not be separated.

Both riders clocked times of 5:01.50, and had to share second place.

Joshua Price (Ride 24/7) was the leading junior in the field, with his time of 5:26.35 also good enough for a top ten finish overall.

Gordon Markus (Severn RC) was the highest placed veteran, his performance also enough to place inside the top ten.

Joanne Jago of Performance Cycles CC was the fastest woman across the course, registering a time of 6:11.33.
