Thursday 31st August. You, a bike, a big old hill, coffee and pizza? How does that sound? Pretty good right?
Yes, it’s nearly time once again for our annual hill climb on the Brickworks. As usual, sign on from 6pm – 6:45pm at Pott Shrigley Village Hall car park (no entries after 6:45 sorry!) Entry is £5.
Course details are here.
Prizes for the winners + Kickback Coffee will be open for the duration and Tommy’s Pizza will be there too providing us with the all important Pizza!
This time we will do the prize giving at Kickback, rather than at the Village Hall so just go straight there after your ride and cheer on the other riders with a slab of Pepperoni. And if you don’t fancy riding, casual watchers are welcome as always!
New club kit order window now open!
The portal will stay open at Shutt Velo until October 13th.

This years club hill climb on the Brickworks was another hotly contended one with plenty of fast times. The overall win was taken by Ashley Wilcox of CCC, in a blisteringly fast 6:12 with Alison Dockney (Macclesfield Wheelers) taking first in the womens. In the junior categories the honours went to our own Jacob Bradbury and Lucy Carter.
This event is used to decide the club hill climb champions for the year, and this year that accolade goes to Jacob Bradbury for the men. Jacob has gone from strength to strength this year, achieving a number of strong results in hill climbs and was delighted to achieve his sub 7 minute target. The womens trophy goes to mother and daughter combo Holly & Lucy Carter! Holly raced the event with Lucy in a kids trailer. Chapeau to that effort!
