hill climbs

edit: Maybe this should be in bike talk or racing

Re: hill climbs
 

Which kind?
The dirt stuff up a near vertical muddy slope doesn't look fun, especially when the bike wants to kill you on its way back down.

Nah I do that on my trials bike, it's never landed on my head yet lol
(thats free too!)

I mean the ones that are timed sprint on tarmac

Re: hill climbs
 

The Scarborough club does them, also sprints on circuits.
If interested will try to get more info. You can even do an event without a Comp licence

There is one at Houghton Tower every year.

Googling for info on it I found this strange looking entry

I nearly entered one the day after the AR in Shrewsbury, but chickened out. Probably just as well, the petrol station was full of battlescarred cars that day (one guy was driving home in a sierra that was blatantly bent in the middle, he'd hit a post or a tree side on, all the wheels were pointing in different directions)

But it does look ace.
