UK NATIONAL HILL CLIMB CHAMPIONSHIPS

UK National Hill Climb Championships are a quintessentially British time trial event. The season is short and held in the autumn after the majority of the road race season has concluded. Each year a different hill is chosen for the competition which sees competitors simply ride up the steep course as fast as they can.
