National Hill Climb Championships 2013
Nicola at Beeley Moor at the weekend - a climb similar in lenth to the Stang |
This year’s climb known as ‘The
Stang’ is 2.3 miles long over varying gradient, including some at 18% and a
fast downhill section. The climb is also very exposed at the top, so the stormy
weather forecast will make for some interesting conditions. See regular hill
climb winner Tejvan Pettinger’s blog for more - http://cyclinguphill.com/grinton-moor-and-another-trip-to-arkengarthdale/
Eve riding The Stang earlier in the year. Thanks Jack & John O'Neil for the photos. |

Win for Jo in the M&DLCA 25 and podium at tameside
Photo from Manchester Wheelers |
The next day Jo and Nicola took to Tameside for the Manchester Wheelers 130th Anniversary race day (which included some rather entertaining BMX relay racing - a mention to Scott Burn's has to be made here for his highly entertaining cornering).
The pair started attacking from the off and quickly created a break of 5 including two of the girls from VC St Raphael, who lapped the field. The sprint was a bit messy with a touch of pedals on the floor in the last corner and a moment of hesitation and VC won the sprint, with Nicola and Jo coming in 2nd and 3rd! Best bit was, the prize for the win was a yellow CHAMPION SYSTEMS jersey, resulting in a full Champion Systems podium!
