Well done to everyone who rode the PPYCC hill climb at Rottingdean yesterday. We had an eventful start to the morning finding out we were on the wrong side of the hill, so apologies for the inconvenience! But it was great to see everyone pull together and transfer nearly 40 youngsters from the foot of the southern side of the climb to the bottom of the north side over a mile away!
The so-called ‘North Face’ was roughly the same length at 1km, but it was a fair bit steeper, starting from the sheltered valley bottom and rising quickly into a ferocious headwind as riders neared the summit! We were really impressed how all the riders took on this unexpected challenge so well and every single rider put in a really impressive performance.
The final results and a selection of photos are below. Our official photographer Pete Levenspiel took over 200 pictures, supplemented by Dixon and Andy with another 100 between them. The full library has been shared with the parents/carers of the registered riders and we’ll also post a further selection to social media.
Thanks again to my co-organisers Kevin and Pete, and obviously a big thankyou to PPYCC’s amazing army of volunteers who marshalled, escorted riders, recorded times, swept the road and everything else, we really couldn’t do these events without you!
