To anybody who is keen to do more Hill Climbs, definitely check out the Facebook group
UK Hill Climbing, set up by our own Christian Fox.
You'll find details of all this seasons Hill Climb events, some informal like this one, and some a (little) bit more serious, all leading towards the National Hill Climb Championships on October 28th which is possibly the most fun thing a cyclist has ever invented.
Thanks!
