New September Hill Climb Series

8th September 2010

Dear Riders,

To make the most of the fitness gained during the summer and before losing it during the Winter, a mini hill climb league has been organized. This will include three famous short climbs around Aberystwyth town.

The league will start on Wednesday 15th of September for 3 weeks. The events will start at 6.30pm sharp, with signing-on/weighing-in at 6pm. The events are:

  • 15th September - Penglais Hill, starting opposite the hospital car park and finishing at the Clarach turn.
  • 22nd September – Primrose Hill, starting by the Black Lion and finishing by the junction at the top for Waunfawr.
  • 29th September - sprint up Penparcau Hill, starting on the bridge, turning and finishing by the school.

As well as a league for the fastest time, there will also be an adjusted league, based on the rider and bike weight, i.e. the heavier riders will be rewarded with a time deductions compared to lighter riders. So don’t be put off if you think you have a bit more gravity!!!

All three hills have street lights on them, but please put rear lights on you bike for our safety.

The events are free and after the final event we intend to hire the Penparcau Community Centre for refreshments and awards.

Dewi and Kirsten
