Jared Spire showed his liking for heights when winning Oxonian CC’s club time trial at Brill.

Starting from the windmill, the event swept down Muswell Hill, taking a circuit around Brill for about 16 miles.

It included the steep climb up Brill Hill, out to Long Crendon and finishing back into Brill.

On a warm evening, the 17 riders produced some fast times.

None was quicker than Spire who completed the course in 42 mins 51 secs.

But he was given a close fight by Mark Cox, who finished just two seconds behind.
