    *bump*
    Thought I'd bump this, is there a website for this. What steps would a random punter have to take to take part?
    Cheers!

    There is none! not yet anyway.

    we are looking for a club to promote it. The argument is that there shouldnt be a national championship in a discipline which has no other races effectively I would agree with it.

    whats a random punter? If its a championship no one day licences are accepted
    and all the onstraints of organising a championship apply pre-entry etc

    So with two weeks to go and still down as TBC, I guess Hill climb champs are effectively cancelled? :(

    It's a sad situation :(

    In fact the whole Hill Climb scene in Ireland is sad and depressing :o

    I agree there should be a hill climb season and at least then a National champions jersey would be merited for Hill climbing

    As far as I know there are multiple clubs interested in running the event. I may also be getting my club (Cycleways CC) to run it. We are a *very* small club - but will see...

    There have been a few other HCs on over the year but a series would be nice. I looked into running one but things (mostly racing) got in my way from devoting the time needed.

    It will be going ahead - there are few clubs interested in running it (including my own) - looks like they (as in CI) want it to be held at the start of October. I would expect more concrete info in about 8 days.

    Ah for God's sake! Can a man not go on the beer in peace?

    Feck it - might leave it to the MTB and cross brigade.

    8 days? Very specific!

    Any rumours in which province it'll be held?

    The clubs who put in an initial proposal will be extending it by Friday - I assume results back a few days later.

    No idea which province (i.e. which club) will run it. Means I have to not get 'fat' until October now!

    If you need advice on getting fat I'll share my dietary program ;)

    I believe they put in a proposal, but no idea on place/time/date, so we'll have to wait and see!
