HAYFIELD HUB MIDSUMMER CHARITY HILL CLIMB
There will be a charity hill climb on Friday 11th July starting at the Roych Ford and finishing on the top of the bridleway on South Head most of you will be familiar with it but I have included a map so you can find ways to get to the start avoiding riders coming up if you are not starting early .I will ask entrants to self categorise into three groups .
A. Race rat expecting to win or get a podium position!
B. Steady rider looking to get up in 14 mins or roundabout
C. Justifying a pint in the Sportsman later
I have devised a timing system that allows the race to stop and start in case we are visited by motorbikes etc so you will not get a start slot but I will start the groups as follows
C. 7.00-7.30pm
B. 7.30-8.00pm
D. 8.00- onwards
THESE TIMES ARE APPROX I WILL GET US ALL UP QUICKER IF NUMBERS ALLOW
It is possible to pass safely almost anywhere on the climb as soon as the rider on has cleared the initial section another will get let go so please be courteous politely ask for passing room from slower riders.
The rules are :
1. GET TO THE TOP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
2. ONLY 26 OR 29 INCH MOUNTAIN BIKES ALLOWED
3. YOU ARE ALLOWED 5 PACES ON FOOT THEN YOU MUST ATTEMPT TO REMOUNT AND RIDE IF YOUR RIDE IS INTERUPTED
4. PUT £2.00 IN A BUCKET AT THE START [OR MORE IF YOU ARE FLUSH] THIS WILL BE COUNTED IN THE PUB LATER AND GIVEN TO A LOCAL CHARITY
Mark at the Sportsman pub has kindly offered to put on a large pasta dish afterwards the results will take a while to process so please let me know so he has ideas on numbers this will be around 9.30 ish [Mark only wants to cover his costs so wont be much if any.] As this date has moved forward one week from our original plan we have not had time to create online entry we will do this at the next climb, please email your entry to admin@hayfieldhub.net Include only this info in the mail.
