Burnham Beeches were looking their golden best as I rode out to Wooburn Green to time the annual anti gravity event. In deference to the 'Credit Crunch' and as no bail out had been forthcoming from government,the usual double hill climb had been downgraded to a single event this year up Windsor Hill.
After some deliberation as to where to start should be, the appearance of High Wycombe CC members who had ridden the hill before confirmed that we were in the wrong spot. However all was soon ready as Anona prepared to time them off after allowing a generous 15 minutes for the Chief Timekeeper (Alan) to get to the top and prepare himself for the onslaught.
He had in fact reached the top of the hill in about five minutes and thus expected the riders to do the same in about three minutes.
With no thought for the natural beauty that was to be seen on the way up the High Wycombe riders rocketed up the hill followed in varying states of fitness by Road Club riders.
FULL RESULT
Robert Cable 4.18.05 (SBRC)
Kevin Holloway 2.01.00 (HWCC)
Joe Holloway 1.56.02 (HWCC)
Tony Pell 3.34.30 (SBRC)
Geoff Powell 2.14.80 (HWCC)
Harjinder Obhi 2.52.90 (SBRC)
That was enough althletism for one day so a halt was called and we repaired to Bourne End Garden centre for sustenance.
