Brickworks Hill Climb Thurs 30th August

[Dan Robinson]

We're doing the Brickworks Hill Climb again this year on Thursday 30th August.

We've got the bar at Pott Shrigley Village Hall and there will be prizes donated by Rapha and Rare Mags. It's going to be great!

So there will be no hill climb series this year, just this event and the quickest 1st claim wheeler will get the hill climb trophy at the the annual dinner.

The event will also be eligible for points in the club scratch and handicap champs (club 10 series) due to no Cat & Fiddle event this year.

Sign on will be from 6:15 for a 7:01 start.

Better stock up on the the slim fast!

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!
