Tejvan has riden 16 hill climbs this year, and won 13. This year's championship was on Pea Royd Lane. A steep hill in Stocksbridge, Yorkshire - 1200 yards at an average gradient of 12%. The short distance is not Tejvan's forte, unlike last year's longer hill on the Stang. But, the Sri Chinmoy CT rider was happy with his performance.

"I felt it was a good ride, I gave it everything and it all passed in a blur. I don't think I could have gone any faster so was happy with the ride."

Supporting Tejvan at the hill climb championship were fellow Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team members, Vilas Silverton, Adam Thornton, David Hall and Devashishu Torpy.
