Hill Climb and Speed Judging 2026
Sun 04 Oct 2026
The annual hill climb at Digswell along with the speed judging competition.
On a sunny Autumn morning 13 riders turned up for the annual Digswell Hill Climb, 12 North Roaders and 1 guest. After a delayed start, due to the timekeepers being late, and a discussion about the start line, moved due to an updated risk assessment, proceedings got under way.
The fastest North Roader was Jamie Anderson with a time of 2:48 which was 3 seconds faster than his 2025 time. He was not the fastest on the day though as that was Jeremy Henwood, Hastings & St Leonards CC, with a time of 2:34. The best improver of the day goes to Barbara Kubis who recorded a time of 4:40 which was 34 seconds faster than last year. Well done to Barbara.
After the Hill Climb it was back to Burnham Green Village Hall for Emma's legendary toasties. Along with cakes provided by Viv, Emma, Barbara and Debbie. Donations were collected for a mental health charity called Young Minds. YoungMinds | Mental Health Charity For Children And Young People | Young Minds
After everyone had their fill of toasties and cake the Speed Judging was run. Results of which will appear here later.
