i'm not about on the 28th unfortunately. shame - was really up for this.
how fast can you go up the beacon?? got me wondering so i did come digging - having done some reps of the hill this morning, not very fast i might add...
the fastest time i could find was clocked by Stuart Dangerfield who beat reigning hill climb champ Jeff Wright by ten seconds in a time of 3-45.2. apparently it's 1500m from car park to car park. which would make his average speed 14.9mph or 24kmh. oh, and the average power output was 487 Watts. just ridiculous!!!
the top fours riders all rode fixed wheel. here is four times national hill climb champ jim henderson's bike. 12 pounds.
