Club
hill-climb, 2007
Our 2-stage hill-climb will be held again
this year on 23rd Sept at Hawkesbury Upton, a few miles north-east of Chipping Sodbury.
The race HQ will be by the pond to the west of the village, next to the road
towards the monument and Hillesley village (signing-on at 9:30). Park by the pond in
the lane leading to Hawkesbury church and common.
Race 1, the longer and less steep of the two
stages, starts at Hillesley (10:00am), with the finish point next to the monument at
Hawkesbury Upton.
Race 2 (11:00am) is a short sharp climb from
the church at Hawkesbury, again finishing in Hawkesbury Upton, but this time just short of
the pond and race HQ.
Classification is based on the aggregate time
for the two climbs.

Club social meetings
Club social and business meetings are held in
the clubhouse (with a licenced bar!) at the Yate Outdoor Sports Centre. This
facility is located behind Brimsham Park School adjacent to Goose Green Way, the northern
ring road around Yate. There are plenty of road signs providing directions.
Meetings are generally held monthly, on the
first Wednesday. Any variations to this will be indicated in the Diary
section on our Home Page.
