Former national hill climb champion Andrew Feather, 35, added yet another win to his record as he and Hannah Farran took victory in the Stockton Wheelers hill climb on Sunday.

Held at the Carlton Bank course near Carlton in Cleveland, the climb took in 0.88 miles and it was Feather who was the quickest in a competitive field. Used for the national hill climb championship in 1996, Carlton Bank becomes very steep as it ascends, at around 25% in places.

The HuntBikeWheels.com rider racked up his eighth win in September with a time of 5.49 putting him 21 seconds up on second-placed Jude Taylor (Crimson Orientation Marketing RT) and 30 seconds up on Cycling Sheffield’s Nathan Smith.

Hannah Farran was a comfortable in top spot in the women’s category, her time of 8.11.3 enough to give the 26-year-old Boompods rider a place in the overall top 20 and also set a course record.

Georgia Campbell (Blaydon CC) was second in 9:57.3 and third was veteran Kate Sanderson (Cleveland Wheelers CC) in 1.46.0.

John Russell of Team Bikestop took the junior prize in a time of 6:58.2, placing him at seventh overall.

Triology Manhealth’s Matthew Cole was quickest juvenile, stopping the clock at 7:03.0 to place him eighth overall and the veteran prize was taken by Graeme Wardale (South Shields Velo CC) in sixth.
