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. |

Re: hill climbs
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.
