He's 15 years old.
:shock:
Chapeau, young sir!
1. Youthful energy
2. Lack of weight, I suspect he probably weighs as much as my bike!
Excellent ride tho!
A little more than youthful energy to beat the field that entered.
Dan Fleeman was 3rd and there were 4 of the Rapha-Condor-Sharp team, 3 Raleigh Cycles team members and a few from Corley Cycles.
I'd bet he'll be in the BC development squad next year and provisionally signed with Sky.

Cheers Gazza! I looked at the pics but assumed the guys in the team kit jersey's had brought them :shock:
Given that White Lane isn't a million miles out of London, maybe we should arrange for an SCR Hill Climb Challenge :-)0 -
That sounds like a really stupid idea.
Where do I sign up?
BTW, I recommend an early start to avoid any traffic - I met two cars coming down on my attempt.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Great idea! I really wanted to ride these two events, but just had too much on last weekend (and also had been riding like a sack of spanners the last couple of weeks). Would be great to give them a go though. I think I have done Yorks Hill before, I was just glad to get up without stopping so hats off to anyone who can win a race up there!0
