After 2 events, the Inter Club competition stands like this:
| Kent Valley | 408 points |
| Lakes RC | 229 points |
| Barrow CW | 177 points |
| Lancaster CC | 83 points |
But the next 2 events are on our 'home turf': Condor Bottoms hill climb on Monday 15th June; & Jubilee Tower hill climb on Monday 22nd June. Both are just a short ride out of Lancaster. Both these hill climbs have become popular & sociable occasions in recent years, when they've run later in the year, in September. They're a great chance to test your legs over climbs that you might have ridden many times, but rarely raced (& there's a difference!); and for friends & family to come along & roar everybody up the hill. And in June this year, they're a good opportunity to mix & mingle mid-season.
And if enough Club members take part, we should move up the Inter Club leader board!
