The club hill climb is just under a month away.
Llangeinor (from the Garw side,layby to layby)
Last year we had a record number of riders. The most since 1962 !!
Llangeinor was used for the first time last year and is back by popular demand (and so no one gets lost on the way up) :P
Time to get some practise in
-
Please fit this event in with your club run and lets make it 50 entrants!! Lighten those bikes, take off everything you do not require for the 3 minute ride, most riders have done this hill up or down, but check the course out and don't forget the left turn at the top.
-
Don't forget there is also a prize for last up so we should see some track stands at the bottom.
The prize is a genuine red lantern, the lanterne rouge as in the Tour de France. The faster riders should take sandwiches !

What time is sign on/start?
-
Time of start for the Club Hill Climb is 10.30 hours. Signing-on to be completed by 10.15 at the start point at Llangeinor square.
The weather is set fair so we look forward to seeing a good turn-out on Sunday.
-
If you feel the need to reduced your weight before attempting the hill climb on Sunday, please, please use the public toilets by the sculpture at the bottom of the hill, rather than peeing in the bushes in the pub car park.

What a great event this morning with 18 riders competing.
Lots of happy faces at the start - no idea what they looked like at the top - but happy again when they came back down.
Some riders competing in their first event and some times from last year well and truly beaten.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's time when Norman has a chance to put them on here.

Thanks Teresa and Norman, and anyone else involved in organising. That was my first club hill climb, and my only official TT this year. Despite not climbing quite as well I'd hoped to, I found it a really enjoyable event. I'll be back next year, hopefully with 5 more Watts and 5 less kilograms ;)

Thanks to Timekeepers Teresa Deeley and Norman James
and to Starter Richard Bowmer and Number Checker Jason Turvey.
Most of all thanks to you all for such a brilliant turn-out - you made
it a day to remember.

Big thanks to Norman & Teresa for organising the climb today.
If only my climb had been as efficient as your organisation...!
-
I'll second Craig's thanks to Theresa & Norman this morning for organising another fun if painful Club Hill Climb Champs'. I've also only just noticed Theresa's previous post about toilet facilities. Oops! despite having been up and down that hill a bucketful of times I didn't realise there was a 'facility' opposite the start line! :o
-
Re the toilet facilities - Only when I sent Terry in that direction did I discover that the facilities have actually been removed :o
I was keen for everyone to be mindful as one of the fastest courses in Wales has been withdrawn for 2016 in response to complaints by residents
On behalf of South Wales DC
In the light of increasing complaints about riders urinating in the area of the start and riders disregarding warnings the district committee decided last night to withdraw the use of the R25/3L for one year.
All events will be on the R25/3H which is further away from the residential area.
This action was taken to preserve the reputation of the sport and to bring home to riders the serious nature of the threat to events in the area. Please behave responsibly.

Looked like a great turnout. Congratulations to Paul, a class ride and also to Dave W and Terry A , lots of potential for the 59 club to deal with.
Haydn, where were you? Don't be shooting off the front on the climbs all winter if you won't race one !
-
Just had a look at the results, thanks again to Norman and Teresa for organising the event and words of advice, as I almost went up with water bottles and puncture repair kit!
-
110 miles yesterday Steven! Legs were telling me no!
-
Big thanks to Teresa and Norman. Enjoyed that today for a challenge shame it was on my winter bike...other bike is in the shop bottom bracket knackered.. :o
-
As this years evident Lanterne Rouge winner – just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity to shine as a true newbie ;) In my poor defense I was sporting an injury, too much weight and an old winter bike but I hope to improve all by next year’s event – along with my time. Great fun – many thanks

Good point and good idea. It's not difficult to not pee in view of local residents FGS. All too many competitors think they are more important than their surroundings it seems. We are not!
Yesterday I went out on my bike in the afternoon after half marathon and was horrified to see the state of the road around and a fair bit beyond roath park lake - hundreds/ maybe thousands of partially drunk plastic bottles of lucazade, and similar quantities of gel wrappings. Get real people, this is littering and illegal. More importantly its disgusting, unnecessary and dangerous to habitats. I did think that if a mass cycle event had left this much mess (and it probably would), then the local and national daily hate mails would have a field day!

Tony said he was up for a prize. He only got the lanterne rouge because Alan didn,t turn up ! We 25'ers know how to be cruel.
Bearing in mind that Tony has a Gippy knee but still rode through the pain he deserves his prize. And he has tickets for the Dinner so he can proudly take possession of it.
Well done everyone and thanks to Teresa and Norman. Without you there would not have been and event to enjoy.
Next club competition to enjoy is the Roller Race in February. Andy will be organising some Turbo sessions soon on Fridays and the competition rollers will be out too so, for those who have not tried them before here is your chance.
We all need a focus for those long sessions in the garage at home on those long winter nights !
