Welcome to Beeston Cycling Club

Sounds good. Which side are we climbing it from?

Last years winner, can Tom defend his title?

I suggest we go up the steep ascent.
Starting from siding on Rusty Lane and the left up No Man's Lane to the Lightening Tree.

2013 or 14 at No Man's Lane

a great club turnout

Mark Newing on the start line and multiple winner.
Will he look to reclaim the title or is there another plotting a plan for the crown.

Competing

Should be competing too.

John - I think those photos must be 2013. Pretty sure 2014 was Terrace Hill.

You are right👍

2013.... was a long time ago.....

Mark you still can do it😉

I'm in

Just to let you know Ian Stevenson and Richard Oakes will be setting riders off and the time keepers. They will update you on arrival time so that numbers can be given out and everyone can get in place to start in the right order.

I will now be down in Southampton visiting University open day with my daughter.

Is the start point the gated lay-by / farm entrance about half-way up Rushy Lane? Seems like the only safe place to do it.

The Strava segment from the last time the club used this course is here:

(KoM still held by our 2013 champion.)

ha ha... not for much longer... cant wait for the "Uh oh" notification!

Sounds like a bit of fun. I?ll have a go at competing.

I might have a ride out and watch the fun!

Richard A yes that is the spot.

Good luck everyone.

just bell clanging for me

Hey Andy can you take some photos of the pain on their faces 😉

will do boss

What time is signing on? And is it up at the top by the lightning tree, or by the start?

Signing on will be at the start (see red marker on map) so please be there no later than 9:30 so we can make sure everyone gets signed on and has plenty of warm up time. :)

No racers licence so will come and cheer you on.

You don?t need race licence, Mark! Go on, give it a go!

Thanks to Ian and RichardO for organising - great morning up on the hill. And congrats to Tim on becoming the new champion.👍🏻

Big thanks to the organisers and time keepers. I?d like to say it was a fun morning but it was thoroughly unpleasant, but in a good way. Thanks again

2017 Champion crossing the line

Get that man a jersey!
great effort Tim.

well done Tim
