On Sunday 28th September, Newbury Road Club are promoting an open hill climb on the well known Walbury Hill in West Berkshire, which at 297 metres above sea level is also the highest natural point in the South East of England.

The hill climb has traditionally been a club event but this year Newbury RC decided to aim higher and open the event to all. So far it has attracted over 40 riders including current National Hill Climb Champion, Tejvan Pettinger and last year’s fastest veteran in the National event, Pete Tadros as well as other strong local riders and a strong contingent from the club.

The event starts at 10 am on Sunday 28th. According to organiser, Chris Boulton, the prize list is growing but is already at £450 plus cycling equipment with prizes across all categories from senior, veterans, ladies, junior and juveniles.

The course on Walbury Hill is just over a mile long with maximum gradient of 10%. The current record is 4 minutes 13 seconds and is expected to be broken.
