Lou Bates WINS Monsal Hill Climb

Lou Bates WINS the Sheffrec CC hill climb at Monsal Head ahead of Jessie Walker of Servetto Footon and Dame Sarah Storey of Pearl Izumi.

Lou went off relatively early in the field. She placed second in National Championships last year, although this was as Lou Collins (she got married in April) which means she has been slipping under the radar in terms of rider seeding!

We cheered her on (obviously the reason she won) and she STORMED past us, looking super fast (see video below). Turns out she was as fast as she looked and took the win by two seconds with a time of 1.55.1! Congratulations Lou! Fabulous ride.
