Dorset Hill Climb Series, Mud Sweat n Gears Save the Best Till Last!

Mud Sweat n’gears deservedly won the Dorset hill climb series for the second year running.The Dorchester- based team organised the fifth and final round and with seventy one riders signing on, cups of tea & cake and bright autumn sunshine, it was the best of the lot.

CC Weymouth put up a good fight throughout the series, even leading the standings going into the final round but sheer weight of numbers swung it MSGs way.

The 1.3 mile climb of Chalky Road on the edge of Broadmayne rises up above the Isle of Portland but is never steep, suiting the powerful big ringers. It was Kim Little (Gillingham & Dist Wh) who took the individual honours, the winner on Bulbarrow Hill seven days ago won comfortably from round 1 winner Phil Cole (MSG) with Paddy Dunn (CC Weymouth) taking third place.

Simon McLaughlin (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers) won the individual title for the third time, despite only finishing 5th, McLaughlin will be riding for Poole Wheelers in 2016.The 2015 hill climb series has been a two-way scrap from round 1, with Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers & Poole Wheelers failing to get riders out the competition lacked excitement, unless of course you were from Dorchester or Weymouth.
