Meeting at Club Hut at 10.00am to cycle down to the bottom of Millheugh Brae for a 10.30am start. The 1 mile hill climb starts at the lampost just before the Applebank and finishes at the metal fence just before the T junction.
We are looking for helpers on the day as well so feel free to volunteer, looking for 2 timekeepers, 1 pusher off and a couple of marshalls and a photographer wouldn't go a miss.
Refreshments will be available back at the club hut so feel free to bring sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, etc.

Unfortunately I can't be there. Tis a shame as I have actually practiced that hill! But I'm afraid that the Mrs has twisted my arm into visiting her at her new place in Leicester, all ready for her starting Uni.
Maybe next year... |

I'll be there. Just changed my flight from Annan (spelling) so I get home on Saturday. Derek I should be 120/1 due to the jet lag!!
I would prefer a hill descent, but Wishaw casualty department might be a bit busy afterwords |

No chance - it was a roaring tailwind last year.
Keep the virtual bets coming in - looking forward to a bit of 'bet in-play action'....."LOVELY!" _________________ Second place = best loser! |

Not been out on the bike much due to training for a half marathon so I would be laughable at attempting this but I will deffo try and get down to do some helping if required and possibly bring a camera. |
