2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted September 12, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 The first of this season's hill climbs, it's not very long but it's tough! Start at 18:30 this time, so meet a few minutes before. As usual a two of helpers to timekeep and hold-up will be appreciated. The route is as per previous years, but here is a link for anyone who has not done it before: JWCC Hill Climb Route The nights are closing in, so it may be worth having lights, particularly if planning to cycle home. I plan on riding this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions KarenG Posted September 12, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'd like to ride this. Is the start part of the way up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted September 12, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 The start is at the bottom. It's all uphill from there. 2 minutes of pain. No pressure. GrahamF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted September 13, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I will try to be there and I have been told there is an easier bit in the middle where the pain drops down to excruciating, before rising for the finish GrahamF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted September 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm told there may be some filming taking place tonight. Just as a practice run to get the filming angles right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted September 15, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 We could do with a couple more helpers for this to assist Carol, we will need a timekeeper at the top and one at the bottom as well as a holder-upper. Should be a fun evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted September 15, 2015 Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Not sure I'm going to make it now. I thought I could get my hillclimb gear and a more sensible gear for riding over on the same length of chain, but it's proving problematic.

2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted September 15, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Carol for timekeeping, it was a good evening - seems more fun now than it did at the finish! Well done to everyone who took part, I'll need to get some training in before the club championship. DavidC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted September 15, 2015 Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks very much, Carol and Gerard, for timekeeping! That was a brilliant turnout, folks. I can't remember so many riders at a midweek hillclimb (can't remember so much traffic either!) Well done, everyone! 21 quid transferred to the Wheelers' bank account.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted September 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks to Carol and Gerard on a lovely night for a horrible climb. Did anyone else think it was steeper than last year? George and DavidC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted September 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Maybe the dirt was holding the gears together as that was not fun on a clean bike that was not playing nicely. Still I want to come back next week and post a time that is as respectable as everyone else. Good job from Carol and so far no one has complained about the setting off.

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted September 16, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 thanks to Carol and Gerard, and well done everyone.... nothing quite prepares you for that little bit of torture :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
