Hounslow Hill Climb
Congratulations to umop3pisdn who recorded the fastest time in our club event yesterday.
His time of 1 minute 38.2 seconds for the 880 yards of Windsor Hill (near Wooburn Green, Bucks) was 12.5 seconds too good for Nic Stagg, the Hounslow's best performer who did 1.50.7
To put this in perspective, here are some other recent winning times from the archives:
2008 Wouter Sybrandy 1.36.7
2009 Hippy 1.47.3
2010 Wouter 1.38.9
2011 Wouter 1.28.6 (Nic Stagg 1.36.4)
2012 Nic Stagg 1.47.5
2013 Nic 1.38.4
If Hippy's ride looks 'slow' to anyone, they should remember that hill climbs are the opposite end of the TT spectrum from his speciality. Also, take into account that Wouter was a pro when he did these rides. I think these times show that umop3pisdn's ride was well up there with the best we've seen.
Unfortunately I had to go to meeting which clashed with this and couldn't be present, so at the moment I have no pictures.
