    When’s the church street hill climb? & when does the V.C TT season start again?

    Jon - you’ll have seen the same email as me today - hill climb confirmed for 25th May. I have no info on VC Sevale - I don’t do racing - but links for their website and other rides are on MalvernTrail: http://www.malverntrail.co.uk/bikevent.htm

    Hey,
    what time is the hill climb taking place on the 25th may? and what sort of times hve people been getting in the past? i had a bit of a practice run on my prodominantly downhill hardtail mountain bike the other night, standing start at the lights to the post office in 40secs. any good?

    The ‘Sir Edward Elgar Bicycle Challenge’ starts at 10.30, going until 3pm (unless they run out of entrants I guess). Fastest time last year was 17 seconds, but it might have been slightly shorter than your try-out. That sounds a bit too serious to me - can be taken as a bit of fun too.

    Categories, under 10, 10 to 12, 13-16. 17-39, 40-59 and 60+ (and I’d also guess male/female).
