Ewan Tuohy (Catford Cycling Club ) took the victory in the 6th Annual Waller Pain hill climb in Caterham, Surrey, on Sunday 19th June 2016, just missing out on the event record by three seconds.
Tuohy tackled the steep ascent of Waller Lane in 1-17 seconds, just short of the mark set by Matthew Pilkington in 2011.
Last year winner Mathew Burton (Velo Club Rutland) and Daniel Pink (Big Foot CC) both placed second with 1-24 closely followed by Under 16 men’s category winner Santiago Cadavid (VCL) with 1-28.
Helen McKay (Les Filles RT) women’s title and course record 1-49.7 set in 2015 remained unchallenged whilst fastest women of the day Isabella Escelera (VCL) turned out an epic 2-10 to win U16 women’s category.
In the other categories, Peter Carpenter (Sutton CC) under 12 boys; Jonathan Tucker (VCL) men’s Vets and Steve White men’s super-vets. No fit mums took part this year however Simon Blackborn’s sterling effort meant he took the Fat Dad category.
The all inclusive non profit making event supported by Caterham Round Table helped raised funds towards local good causes. Caterham Round Table Iron Man Rupert Greatwood (Tri Surrey) said “We were very happy how smoothly the event ran today and next year we will do our best to avoid fathers day and the London to Brighton bike ride to maximise our chances of a larger field. Thank you to everybody that participated on and off the bikes including our sponsors Yellow Jersey Cycle Insurance”.
