Welcome to the AIMS summer HC. This is held in the fantastic, beautiful North Yorkshire surroundings at the small village of Kildale, a 12 min drive east of Stokesley and only a 19 minute drive from the A19, making it accessible to most riders.
The Climb
The climb can be found on Strava here https://www.strava.com/segments/29425965 with the all time record being 2:57 by Jacob Vasey on our first debut hosting of this great hill climb. At just 1k in length it is a short but very punchy climbing, average 9% and maxing out at 20%! We would expect everyone to cover the climb within 6 minutes.
You will be given a lovely, warm welcome from the AIMS team, clear guidance of where to get to the climb (literally 2 mins from the HQ), plenty of parking available and lots of places on the climb for supporters to cheer you on. Post race, there will be free refreshments of coffees, teas, juice, sandwiches, beer and AIMS cakes.
