Aye, anyways up, why were we here?
Ah yes a hill climb.
Well to be honest the hillclimb route was actually a very easy hill, no difficulties, smooth and not a ridiculous gradient.
Still, this meant the older and more interesting bikes could do it alongside the new machinery.
To be honest didn't watch much of it as it wasn't very exciting - come to Kilburn for that (or abroad for the 'real' thing)
The hillside to the other side would have been far more sporting - but then the older bikes wouldn't have managed and the modern MX bikes and trials bikes would still find it POP, tricky, maybe should (like Kilburn) have two hills for different classes.
Absolute brilliant crowds though - great to see the Dales alive, think the Kilburn organisers need to take some hints from this one.
The course looks quite steep, but in reality for modern MX bikes it really is easy, would need to be a lot steeeper, longer, or more difficult to really progress.
