Chapeau to everyone who lined up on Sunday for the Struggle Hill Climb! By no means an easy task lay ahead despite the 2.7 mile distance! Sunday saw the crowds gather to heckle and shout at the poor souls who chose to ride possibly the UK’s hardest hill climb event. A biblical downpour the day before had everyone a little worried, but come race day blue skies prevailed and the scene was set. Burning lungs and legs a-plenty as 2025 proved to be yet another cracking day on the bikes.
The event supports the Great North Air Ambulance who are beyond deserving. Their three helicopters serve North Yorkshire, the North-East, Cumbria, the Scottish borders and the Isle of Man providing a critical service for those of us who enjoy the outdoors and may find ourselves out of luck. If you can, donate to this incredible cause.v
Struggle Hill Climb | Junior Category
I think everyone was blown away by the talent and grit in the junior category this year. With the youngest ever finisher at just 8 years old and standout performances throughout the field. It’s good to know the next generation is in safe hands. Maybe the frog glasses have secret aero gains?
