Results

Er, we won?! The effects of the extreme conditions meant that many people finished their legs without the spare mental capacity to stop their watches, and I forgot to ask anyone to start a 'team' watch, so we don't have a full set of leg times. Can anyone fill in the gaps?

The [partial] team results were:

With five victories, Northbrook AC are now the most successful team in the history of the Hilly 100, ahead of Leamington and Bromsgrove & Redditch on four. We also have the dubious distinction of being the slowest team ever to win the Hilly 100, our winning time of 11:24:34 being exactly two hours slower than the record set by Massey Ferguson in 1989. Here's looking forward to another, faster win in 2006!
