Enter the hill climb here

Many of the road.cc team ride around the area of Bradford on Avon and we can all vouch for its lumpy terrain, especially the main climb up through town via Mason Lane, it’s nasty!

On the afternoon of Saturday 14th July though you get the whole road to yourself to see how quickly you can ascend from The Swan, around the bend and up to The Castle. Yep it’s a pub to pub course.

If you want to beat the current record set back in 2015 then you’ll need to crack 58 seconds!!

For the young un’s there is the Mini Hill Climb which takes in the first half of the climb, a 200m dash from The Swan to the first bend.
