The runners up from both the men’s and women’s national championships, Calum Brown and Mary Wilkinson were victorious in the inaugural 3RT hill-climb at Scammonden Dam in West Yorkshire on Sunday.
Brown (Team B38-Underpin Racing) powered up the 566-metre climb in 1-22.0 to win by an impressive 13.5 seconds, while Wilkinson (Yorkshire Road Club) clocked 2-03.0 to win the women’s prize by 12.5 seconds.
Held on a closed road, the event used Yorkshire Water’s Scammonden Dam just below the M62, and was a stunning location and a fitting end to the hill-climb season after having to be rescheduled from earlier in the season.
Fastest veteran rider was James Doxey (South Normanton CC), while Jo Holden (Macclesfield Wheelers) was the pick of the female veterans.
Kieran Smith (Bolsover and District CC) was the fastest junior with an impressive 1-35.5 giving him second place overall.
In-form Brown’s victory was his fifth win in the 2018 hill-climb season, having been fastest in the Matlock CC, Tickhill Velo, Sheffrec CC and Bolsover and District events over the last couple of months.
And 36-year-old Wilkinson’s victory was her second win in just four hill-climbs ridden this season. She was victorious in the North Lancashire Road Club climb at Sabden on October 14, but was second to eventual national champion Fiona Burnie in the Lancashire RC climb.
