Olly Thomas (Sussex Revolution VC) was the quickest rider in the Brighton Mitre CC hill climb, while Alice Lethbridge (Kingston Wheelers CC) once again came out on top in Sussex.

After finishing fifth in the morning, Thomas produced a winning ride of 8:45.2 to take victory in the afternoon climb on the 4,928-yard Church Lane hill in Sompting.

16-year-old Charlie Abraham (Charlotteville CC) finished just nine seconds later in second spot in a time of 8:54.0, while third place went to Paul Barnard (Precise Performance RT) in 9:02.2.

Thomas will be aiming to build on this, his first hill climb win, when he tackles the Beachy Head CC climb next weekend.

First woman was all-rounder Alice Lethbridge who finished in 9:32.1 for her second triumph of the day.

Second place again was Eline Smit (Laka x Pedal Mafia RT) in 10:01.4, with Bethan Male of the same club claiming the final podium spot in 10:12.6.

After winning the first Brighton Mitre hill climb of the day in the GH/92 course, Lethbridge came back for a second bite of the cherry and yet again came away with the goods.

The promoting club’s hopes of repeating the morning’s team win were dashed as Sussex Revolution VC had a third man and they put over two minutes into the Brighton Mitre CC and two other teams, with Olly Thomas leading Steve Coombs and Graham Winstanley to an emphatic team time of 27 25.4.
