The results for the Irish Hill Climb Championships can be found here. There is a tab for the Challenge and the Championships itself (Challenge will be up very soon). Congratulations to all riders - the climb is a true test, but especially to the Challenge riders giving this a go - we hope you had a great day. I remember a few folks saying that it was a 'flat' climb, I don't think anyone said that afterwards :)

We would just like to thank everyone
who made today such a great success – almost 130 riders (in
October!) makes this the best attended Hill Climb Championships I
have seen.
Outside of Cycleways CC, many thanks to
the extra marshals/timers/starters we got on the day, Tommy for
Commissar duties and Joanne in timing. Things ran like clockwork.
We were also lucky to have a fantastic
race HQ, the
Glendalough Hotel, the venue was perfect and gave us a
stunning backdrop. Thanks to the ESB for helping us with access to
the top of Turlough hill and
Fixx Coffee for organizing hampers for
the category winners. I performed a few good weather dances lately,
whoever else did so, we thank you too!
Finally, thank you to all the folks who
came out and raced – in the end of the day, you guys made the day.
