'WALLER PAIN' Hill Climb Challenge - Caterham 10th June 2012

[Scott]

Yes is happening again. Come and support the 3rd Annual All Inclusive Urban Hill Climb. What better way to encourage younsters into the wonderful sport of cycling. What other hill climb has the serious club riders and 4 yr olds with stabilisers competing on the same course?

This will have a similar style to the Catford and Bec Hill climbs but with a slight difference -
This is a just for fun event encouraging all levels of rider and ages...Kids, Fat Dads on Mountain Bikes, Fit Mums, Uni Cyclists, Tandem Riders, Shy Club Riders as well as the usual Competitive Types.

Cycling Weekly have pledged their support in the form of prizes for the winners.

I am looking for as much support as possible from fellow agreeables in the form of taking part in the challenge or lining the route and cheering on the challengers.

Hal Bransby (Addiscombe CC) won the inaugural Waller Pain hillclimb in Caterham, Surrey, on Sunday.

Bransby clocked a time of one minute and 26 seconds on the brutally steep one-third mile hill of Waller Lane, situated right in the centre of Caterham.

Luke Barkaway came a very close second at the same time as Bransby, with Sylvain Garde in third with one minute and 28 seconds.

Under-16 rider Kristian Cave (VC Londres) set the early marker with his time of one minute and 42 seconds - as it happened, his time went unchallenged in his category and he took the honours.

Summer hillclimbs - more please
Its longbeen said that it is a shame that the traditional hillclimb season is compressed into just a few weeks at the end of the road racing season in the autumn.

Hillclimbs lend themselves to spectating as all of the action happens in a short stretch of road and is usually at a slightly slower pace than other cycling events.

Organisers of the Waller Pain event, Caterham Round Table, have found an almost perfect venue - a steep hill right in the centre of a town served by a rail station and with acres of parking space.

Many locals turned out to watch the event, and many 'non-cyclists' were tempted to get on bikes themselves to have a go.

As well as the regular competitive clubmen types, the event was open to all-comers on all forms of bike to try out a hillclimb for fun. To fit in with this ethos, there were two slightly less competitive categories for 'fit mums' and 'fat dads'. And they turned up on mountain bikes, BMXes, shoppers, anything.

Organiser Scott Georgiades was satisifed with the end result: "It's been great. We're definitely doing this again next year, perhaps with a slight change in categories".

Let's have some more summer hillclimbs!
