Muckle Cycle Club’s long-running hill climb returns to Corbridge on Sunday 18 October.
It’s less than a mile—but Prospect Hill packs plenty into it:
1.45km
115m of climbing
7.8% average gradient
Steeper ramps around 12%
7 bends from bottom to top
Short, sharp and satisfyingly unpleasant, it’s the perfect way to round off the season week before the Nationals. Pacing is everything: attack the bottom too enthusiastically and Prospect Hill will make sure you pay before the finish.
Equal men’s and women’s prize pots
Trophies up for grabs
Team prize for the fastest three riders
Course-record recognition
The return of our infamous over-82kg category
🎭 Prize for the best fancy dress
You don’t need to be a hill-climb specialist - or built like a whippet - to take part. It’s a brilliant event for first-timers, with the best road side support at any NE event. Fancy dress encouraged!
