Keightley King of the Hill!

Lewis Keightley (Primera-sport.com) won the opening round of the inter-club hill climb competition on Kingston Hill. Keightley flew up the twisting climb above Corfe Castle in the Purbecks, stopping the clock on 1:59:17, not quite the record for the climb but one of only a handful of sub 2 minute rides in the history of the event.

Last year’s overall winner, Simon McLaughlin (Bournemouth Jubilee) finished 5 seconds adrift in second place, with in-form Ryan Weston (Poole Wheelers) snatching third place from James Horton.

It is early days in the 4 race series but already the team title looks to be a two-horse race between CC Weymouth and the Dorchester-based shop team, Mud, Sweat’n Gears. Forty seven starters “suffered” on the shaded climb before emerging in the late summer sunshine at the chequered board just above the Scott Arms.

The action switches to Portland next Sunday (28th) with the CC Weymouth event. Starting below Fortuneswell the climb finishes high above Chesil Beach on the Jurassic coast, first rider off at 09:00.
