The start sheet for the National Hill Climb Championship is out. I appear to be the emaciated filling in an Elite roadman sandwich. I fear that the might Pete Tadros may well catch me on the climb if i dawdle for even a second. He came 7th in 2011 when i managed 24th, I was about 45 seconds back. Looking on the positive side, it’s by the far the latest I’ve started in a National which means I get to experience the full mind-melting madness of the final stages of the race, hurtling up through the crowds when the frenzy and excitement is at its peak.

This weekend is a relatively quiet one with no open events. I shall have a dig and put in the last couple of big efforts before beginning the taper for Burrington and the National.
You will be fine PJ, as the saying goes, “Its who turns up on the day” if your rivals have an off day and you, your best day, then who knows………..
But at least you boys have the nerve to enter these events and push yourselves beyond your limits.
It’s a good start sheet. It’s packed with familiar names towards the end.
I’m miles below the standards on this list, but I’m suffering from similar
thoughts about my position on the start sheet at Catford and Bec this year. Looking forward to reading about Burrington and the National…
is that this weekend ?? might have to drag my sorry carcass down to cheer on the BSCC posse 🙂
the National is next weekend, Burrington is this weekend.
