Hilly 50K (management summary)


2008's was another triumph for the spielmeister and a host of Souwesters posing as officials. Provisionally the rider count was just under 200 and all but a few finished in under four hours. First back was Gary Dodd in 1:50 although two Norwood Paragon late starters swear they were quicker - we believe you! Mike won a close Wayfarer contest from Neil and Toni. For C&M Keith was first home with Tony among the backmarkers after exploring part of Surrey Hills unreached by other riders. After starting the event Simon toured round in a group which included Andrew. The free food and drinks were voted a hit; the 50 Salisbury's pens for 99p were not!

For the benefit of the Clarencourt lady, call it 33 miles and 4000 feet of climbing (or, for the younger generation, 52 km and 1219m).
