I'll second that . . .

I enjoyed the crack up at the finish in glorious sunshine overlooking the Weald - absolutely stunning!  We are so lucky to have people in the Club who are willing to give up their time to organise such an event.

42 starters for our 1st Hill Climb plus their supporters, Friends and Clubmates made a great crowd.

usual traffic expected Brian

motor about every 2 mins or so !

Comment by Brian Willis on September 20, 2011 at 13:35

Will we have exclusive use of the hill, or can we expect traffic?

I was so knackered the last time I arrived there it took me two attempts, that would be embarrassing on a hill climb!

I should have mentioned I was out with Bigfoot so their speedy group have had a practice run now.  Looks like it's going to be a great event with some healthy club rivalry.

I think it starts at the big green gate on the left, finishes opposite layby with the yellow gas/electricity marker in it, the one packed on the day with faces smiling gleefully at the folly of riders wanting to race up such an incline. 0.64 miles, 8.5 - 8.8% apparently (anyone confirm this?).
