Help very much appreciated in marshalling these two climbs. Riber, in the morning, needs help from 9.30 to about 10.45. Harry Gould, the chief marshal, will be in Starkholmes Village Hall from around 9.00 and will place marshals on the hill.

Bank Road, in the afternoon, needs help from 13.30 to about 14.45. Harry will again be on hand in the Imperial Rooms to organise marshals.

For further details please ring 01629 734996

Well done to all Matlock riders taking part and congratulations to John Johnston for being the fastest rider to Smedley Street and taking the prime, beating Adam Kenway by 0.1 second!

Julian Gould, of Zepnat Cycles and other Smedley Street traders sponsored the prime and presented John with a snazzy cycle helmet. (forgot what make)....the only problem was John had to cycle back up Bank Road to collect his prize!...still it should've only taken him 1min 3,5 seconds! 

And what an excellent turn out of spectators at the cross roads and so lucky with the weather as when we arrived home it was like Armageddon...hail, thunder and heavy rain. I just hope everybody got home ok.

Great event with a good atmosphere - speaking to some of the Smedley Street traders afterwards this event could really have the potential to grow if we all get behind it with more riders - not many hillclimbs take place in a town with its potential for large crowds and community backing:)
