Report

Weather which would be considered above average for July, let alone mid-November blessed Week 7 of the Low-Key Hillclimbs as it paid its first visit to Davenport for an assault on Bonny Doon and Pine Flat Roads.

The steep slopes of Bonny Doon can be brutal in the mid-summer sun, but today the perfect temperatures allowed riders to direct all their energies at overcoming the steady grade. And they did, after passing the famous winery and turning onto Pine Flat Road, Low-Keyers were able to exploit the gentler slopes and good sight lines to regroup into min-pelotons which survived intact to the finish at Empire Grade. Howard and his crack results crew was up to the task, however, and results went better than expected.

And, after Bill Bushnell crossed the line for a strong finish in his hybrid electric, those results were an impressive Colwell sandwich as father Tracy was the first across while his young son Skyler impressively finished this very challenging climb, surviving a thrown chain to cross the line strongly. It was Mission Cycling 2-3 as Joe Mulvaney and Jacob Berkman were next to finish, ahead of Tim Clark and Clark Foy, presently leading the U23 category (sic). Ron Brunner impressed yet again, as he finished a personal-best sixth on the day. Among the women newcomer Emily Foxman qualified for her Strava T-shirt along with second place Mary Ellen Allen, Mary Ellen having scored a nice pair of medals at this year's Masters World Championships on the track.

Thanks to all who came for what was an extremely memorable Low-Key Hillclimb!
