News – GS Metro 2 Stage Hill Climb
NOTE: Send your results as well as club, team & event news here
A two stage hill climb in Northumberland has attracted a record field of 54 riders willing to test themselves on two short, sharp climbs. Stage one will be the established Hedley on the Hill Climb up to the picturesque village pub The Feathers Inn, a key supporter of the event. Stage 2 will see the riders tackle the new climb of Eastgate Bank from Stocksfield to High Mickley. The field is high on quality.
The ladies race sees Bronze medal winner from the National’s 2013 Angela Hibbs (Tyneside Vagabonds CC) a firm favourite. The men’s event is packed with quality in seniors/juniors and vets.
Names to watch out for include defending champion and Course Record holder Luke Mullen( Hetton Hawks CC) who will have an hour to gather his thoughts starting as scratchman. The host clubs hopes may well rest on the scrawny shoulders of Carl Donaldson a winner some 20 times this season already. Also keen to make an impression will be Mick Jones of Derwentside CC who won the prestigous Hartside HC in 2013 and was unable to defend his title last weekend when his lift let him down.
A generous prize list supported by Red Marine and Prudhoe based Cycle Art will see the riders well rewarded for exceptional performance.
Proceedings get underway at 11:01 at Hedley on the Hill, 13:02 at Eastgate Bank.
