It was bright, fine day for the new date for the postponed hillclimb of Dean Hill, which was moved from its original October date due to inclement weather.
However, despite the ideal conditions only 11 riders faced the timekeeper and times were slower than normal, but the fight for the podium positions was tight with Brook Elgie, coming out as top climber on the day:
1. Brook Elgie, Sotonia CC , 2 minutes 32 seconds
2. Cameron Taylor, Sotonia CC, 2.37
3. Stefan Freson, Salisbury Road & Mountain CC, 2.38
4. Phil Godfrey, Sotonia CC, 2.39

6. Paul Edmonds, Come & Try it, 2.46
7. Jon Legg, Sotonia CC, 2.55
8. James Peckham, Sotonia CC, 2.57
