Season Finale - what a way to end 2026!

The Club Hillclimb closed out the year in perfect style - great weather, a brilliant turnout, and a proper crowd gathered at the top of Kingswood Hill cheering every single rider home. That's what this club's about.

🏆 Steven Prince (Ludlow Brewery) took the win in 5:06

🥈 Bryan Powell (Malvern Cycle Sport) 2nd in 5:16, a PB

🥉 Nick Paton (Redditch Road & Path CC) 3rd in 5:35

👏 Philip Hunt first home for Droitwich in 5th (5:50, a PB) - a fitting way to cap off a brilliant season of road bike rides. Peter Mulligan right behind in 6th.

Great to see Xavier and Jessica Disley (AeroCoach) both up near the front too, along with riders from Malvern Cycle Sport, Redditch Road & Path and Warwick Lantern Rouge - thanks for joining us for the finale.

7 personal bests on the night - not bad at all for a hillclimb at the tail end of a long season, when there's not always much left in the legs.

And that's a wrap on the 2026 TT season. Huge thanks to everyone who's ridden, marshalled, timed, organised and turned up to cheer across the whole year - and especially to the marshals and helpers that turn out every time to help make these events happen. None of this happens without you.

The 2026 TT season ends the only way it should - uphill!

It's been a proper season - a shortened course debut at Shell Ford, a course record smashed at Severn Stoke, and a League decider that came down to seconds. Now it all wraps up with the one event where nobody's hiding: the Club Hillclimb.

📅 Tuesday 22 September, 18:30
📍 Kingswood Hill (KH43) — 1.2 miles
🏁 Season Finale - the last event of the DCC TT year

No aero bars, no hiding behind a fast group - just you, the hill, and whatever's left in the legs after a long season. Everyone welcome, whatever bike, whatever pace.

What a way to close the 10-mile season. Our final standard 10 of 2026 at Severn Stoke saw PB's right across the field.....

🥈 Daniel Geisler (Club_Coaction) 2nd in 21:58

🥉 Stuart Day (Ely & District CC) 3rd in 22:07 - fresh from strong rides at both of our recent 2-Ups, he's fast becoming a regular fixture near the top of our results

👏 David Lynes first home for the club in 4th (22:38, a PB), with Steve Craner and Peter Mulligan right behind - just 8 seconds covered 4th to 6th place.

🚲 Philip Hunt another great road bike ride in 8th, and 13 personal bests on the night in total - a proper send-off for the 10-mile format before we move into the Sprint and Hillclimb specials.

Thanks to everyone who came out, and to the visitors from Team Echelon, Club_Coaction, Ely & District CC and Redditch Road and Path for making it such a stacked field.

League Decider at Flyford Flavel - EPIC racing!

What a way to close out the North Worcestershire 2-Up League. Round 5 at Flyford Flavel delivered a proper sprint finish to the season - fast times, tight gaps, and 14 personal bests along the way.

🏆 David Lynes & Rikky Hughes made it back-to-back wins, following up their Great Witley victory with another at Flyford in 21:49 - averaging 27.5mph on a course they clearly know well.

🥈 Joe Tyler & Steve Craner right on their heels in 22:07 - just 18 seconds separated 1st and 2nd over 10 miles!

🥉 A brilliant ride from Stuart Day, riding solo all the way from Ely & District CC, taking 3rd overall in 22:43 - exactly the kind of League-wide competition this event was made for.

🚲 Team V-Sprint Racing had a strong night, with two pairs inside the top 6 Chris Woods & Damian Cartland 4th, David Wilson & Glynn Rossant 6th.

Plenty more good riding further down - Peter Mulligan & Tom Kenderdine, Jessica Posnett & Paul Mansfield, Joe Homer & Marcus Bufton, Paul Felton & Phil Smith and Adrian Brookes & Glenn Wilkinson all inside the top 10, with John Homer (Redditch Road and Path) flying solo again to round out the results.

Huge thanks to every club that came down across the League this year, and to everyone who's marshalled, timed and organised over the five rounds. What a way to bring it home.

2-Up TT at Great Witley - results are in!

Round 4 of the North Worcestershire 2-Up League brought a proper mixed field to Great Witley last night - pairs and solo riders from Droitwich, Halesowen, Raz Ladz, Triathlon Redditch, Beacon Roads and Wyre Forest all out on the 17-mile course. And it was a fast one: 20 personal bests from 20 riders, with the median time nearly two and a half minutes quicker than this course has historically produced.

🏆 David Lynes & Rikky Hughes took the win in 40:19

🥈 Andrew Overton & Peter Mulligan just 2 seconds back in 40:21 - about as close as a 17-mile 2-up gets!

🥉 Daniel Ascroft & Nicholas Huins (Halesowen) in 40:51 - great to see Daniel back after his solo win at Himbleton, this time teamed up and on the podium again

4th: Joe Tyler & Steve Craner (41:26)
5th: Damian Cartland & Jack Cotterill (44:02)

🚲 Road bike shout-out: from 5th right through to 9th, every pairing was riding road bikes - brilliant efforts from Cartland & Cotterill, Aldridge & Rogers (Raz Ladz), Posnett & Mansfield, Mitchell & Elliott (Triathlon Redditch), and Felton & Smith.

👤 Solo riders delivered too - exactly as promoted, Richard Kings (Beacon Roads CC) and Cora O'Mahony (Wyre Forest CRC) both rode unpaired and set PBs of their own.

Thanks to every club that sent riders and pairs down for this one, and to everyone who marshalled and timed on the night.

Also thanks to Martin Stanley for capturing some of the action!
