'Hill Climbs are a funny branch of cyclesport.' Anonymous

For those who are not familiar with the format: Someone finds an infamous hill and organises a timed climb from a designated start line to another designated finish line. Riders sign in get a number, pay a modest fee, and then proceed to climb the said hill against the clock at 1 minute intervals. The format is simple. It is accessible to anyone. It is also great to watch and an ideal event for sports photographers to capture faces and bodies in full effort.
