New for 2016 Shropshire Cycling Clubs Association present the Coaching Revolutions Hill Climb Series. Designed with an eye firmly on the ability to tackle the vertical, this Series will appeal to the mountain goats amongst the cycling population. Covering eight rounds at all points of the County, medals are available in Overall, Veterans (on actual), Ladies and Junior categories. Twenty points are awarded for a win in each category, reducing in two point steps for all affiliated riders, with each riders’ best five scores counting.
Kicking off on Tuesday, Round 1 sees Mid Shropshire Wheelers promote their one mile climb from The Stiperstones Inn at 7pm, with Round 2 following the next evening when Wrekinsport CC cover a similar distance from the foot of The Wrekin to the top of Willomoor Bank. SCCA Secretary Dave Fletcher said: “This new Series extends the racing season a month and should appeal to both road racers and time triallists alike. There was considerable interest from member clubs to promote, with several events being created especially for the Series“. Course details and the location of HQ will be published on the SCCA’s Twitter site prior to each event, www.twitter.com/shropshirecca.
