This year’s national hill climb championship was held at Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, just south of Bristol.
The winner was James Dobbin, Arctic Shorter Rochford, in a very good time of 6.51.
Second place was David Clark, who just missed out for the second year running.
I finished 7th in a time of 7.14, just 6 seconds behind 3rd place. I finished 7th last year at the 2006, National Hill climb championship in Devon.

Well done Tejvan. An impressive result, despite the distractions you have had.
A small taste of what is to come next year! Some impressive results im sure!
Cheers, Andrew.
I look forward to next year.
I think we will be planning a 2up TT for next year. For training I want to drag you up all the big Chiltern hills though. Are you up for it? 🙂
Congrats, Tejvan. You are our hero (not only cycling)!
