Apparently the SCU have told our club secretary that the SCU hillclimb is NOT now going ahead.
It's not listed on the BC calendar either. |

| To clear things up, The SCU are in the process of re-scheduling the Hill climb Champs not cancel them. |

Er, hope that doesn't put you off!

Good luck with the event - I wish I could be there. I remember the climb well as I used to live in one of the cottages at the top and cycled up there from school almost every day!
I sound like a right old codger now!
Rob
PS Is the road really going to be closed? How d'you manage that then? |

Please have a look at the start sheet and check your event start time. It will take 10 minutes to cycle to the event start from the race HQ at Philpstoun Community Hall so allow time to sign on, available from 7.30am onwards, There will be a route map posted showing directions to and from the event location at the HQ and also West Lothian Clarion members available to assist you with any questions/requests that you may have.
Hopefully everyone will have a great day and please remember to bring along your race licence and if not you will have to purchase an SCU day licence for £10 which is the normal fee for this type of event. We will have all the appropriate paperwork for you on the day for signing if you have not already completed an entry form for the event.
As this is our first ever open event please pass on as much feed back as possible to all the officials so that we can learn from the vast experience of the field of riders participating in our first of many open events.
Look forward to meeting you all on the day and have a brilliant ride as I am sure you will enjoy the sound of the piper as you pass the finishing line.
