Hill Climbs - Where and what ya doin'?

Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!

Think 30th is the last day for the Catford and Bec HC, but I'd play safe and get them in by the weekend.

Standard CTT form Adam, "Useful Info..." post in General - but I expect you'll just ask Chris :lol: .

I'm not sure I'm gonna do many hill climbs as they get in the way of the cyclocross series :cry:

I really enjoy racing for an hour but 2.5 mins for the same entry fee :shock: I like to get value for money out of my racing I spend just under 6 pence per mile in TT's :wink:
