we could enter this!!!
Sunday 18th October
V9916 (Cragg Vale)
Last years event saw perhaps the biggest entry in the north outside of the Nationals. 70 riders (including eventual National Hillclimb Champion, Matt Clinton) were lured by the chance of riding the countries longest continuous ascent! The climb starts in Mytholmroyd, and although not very steep (and therefore suitable for tandems), does climb for nearly 5 miles. So for a hillclimb, you get a lot racing for your entry money!
**Start: **2.00pm
Headquarters: TBC
Course Description:
Start on Cragg Road, Mytholmroyd (B6138), approx. 0.5 miles south of railway bridge, at telegraph pole no.2, adjacent to entrance to Townson & Thornber (Oils & Lubricants).
