Title: Official Hill Climb course details
Post by: lajames on September 12, 2014, 05:18:12 AM

                                           OVW  club hill climb course 2014
                                             Llangeinor to Llangeinor Arms
                                                   A4093 plus minor road

Start:- At Llangeinor  "square" at bench, at foot of climb. Proceed up hill going east to pass D restriction signs at 0.065 miles, continue to start "S" bend to left at 0.283 miles and complete "S" bend at 0.517 miles. Continue to cross roads at brow of A4093 at 0.819 miles, where bear left on minor road towards Llangeinor Arms to finish at minor road junction to left at 0.939 miles.

This is to take place on Sunday 21st September at 10.00 hours. For those of you who have not ridden a hill climb before, there is no push  off at the start. But you will be held and then let go at your start time.  I really hope we see an enthusiastic turn out. The start and finish have now been marked if anyone should like to go for a practise run. Good Luck.

25er's will be out practising the course on Sunday, this course is well within everyone's capabilities so if all the Sunday club riders turn up it should be a good event.

I have volunteered to marshal, please would ALL Oggies turn up ?

It will be my first time on the bike for 3 months and I will have to ride all or part of the hill so make it worth my while.

I am putting up a prize for the Lantern Rouge so the slowest will receive a reward too

Allow time to log on and fit number etc. What time is log on? At the start a block of wood will be placed behind your rear wheel to prevent rolling backwards, after the count down you will be "let go" make sure you are in a low enough gear to move forward. Good luck.

Signing on as always, closes 15 minutes before the event starts. Therefore closing at 9.45. Looking forward to seeing loads there.

Will everyone be meeting at Physiques as usual and then riding over or are we just making our own way there?
