It's that time of year again when the time trialling season comes to a close, summer yields to autumn and the hill climb season well under way, culminating in the National Hill Climb.
This year Muckle CC are hosting this, the pinnacle of hill climb events. Following the change from Prospect Hill to Dipton Mill Road the entry capacity has been increased to accommodate up to 370 riders. With only a few days to go before entries close now's your chance to take part in what will be a superb event.
Event HQ, situated at the nearby Hexham Race Course, provides excellent facilities.
While the course has changed, don't be fooled, there's plenty of vertical suffering and glory to be had!
Dipton Mill Rd is a 1.2km climb at an average gradient of 9.8%, topping out at 13.4%. A tough climb that changes gradient many times.
For those of you familiar with Whiteleaf Hill (near Princes Risborough, Bucks) Dipton Mill Rd has a very similar profile. So what's not to like?!
