MUD, Sweat ’n’ Gears won the Inter-club hill climb series to end CC Weymouth’s three-year run.

The Dorchester-based shop outfit played Weymouth at their own game, packing out the field to take maximum points in the four-race competition.

Lewis Keightley (Primera-sport.com) won the final round on Whiteway Hill in the Purbecks but it was Ryan Weston (Poole Wheelers) who took the individual honours after finishing sixth.

A chill easterly wind ensured times were well down on last year for the 2.4 mile climb above East Lulworth.

Keightley clocked 7.12.6mins a good 40secs down on his winning time of last year but still 15 seconds ahead of Simon McLaughlin (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers), with Ricky Benson (Fit to Ride) in third place.

McLaughlin has won the individual title for the past three seasons but a mechanical problem in round three at Creech took him out of contention.

Paddy Dunn (CC Weymouth) surprisingly took three seconds out of Weston to finish in fourth place and runner-up overall.

John O’Brien (Bournemouth Jubilee) tackled the hill on a trike, his time of 10.52.2 a course best.

The inter-club series has proved to be a popular end to the season, this year attracting 225 rides over the four events.
