Now in it's 2nd year this "hill climb" specific sportive is a real test for the legs. This event will really test your hill climbing ability as well as your means of recovery. We are not blessed with the steepest of hills in Norfolk - so what we like to do is - go up and down them a lot! Starting from Holt Rugby Club we have opted for a set 30 mile loop which encompasses 10 climbs, and we will just use this loop once for the short course (30 miles), twice for the Standard Course (60 miles) and three times for the Epic Course (90 miles) .... This way we can utilise Holt Rugby Club as the feed zones for the Standard / Epic Courses as they come past.
The venue will cater to your every need - in terms of car parking, changing facilities and catering. even the bar will be open at the end!
The route will head out into some of the glorious scenic countryside that North Norfolk coastline has to offer. You will be riding up hills such as Bard Hill, Holgate Hill, Sandy Lane Hill and Lodge Hill to name a few.
Upon completion of your effort, there will be many extras on site to ensure you have a fun memorable day, ranging from post event massage, food and drinks tent (all for a small charge) as well as a Event Specific Finishers Medal
Cycles UK will also be in attendance with their mechanical support stand and mini stall selling your cycling essentials.
