Matlock CC was hosting the spectacular show of the Nationals on Sunday the 26 October on Bank Road in Matlock!

A few of Horsham’s hill climbers were racing: Giles Hundleby, Luke Burges, Michael Sleeman, Tina Lohr. Our family and friends came to support us, and the surprise supporters were Lloyd & Sarah!

There were around 460 riders including some of the world’s best hill climbers, a junior world champion, paracyclists, and all age ranges from kids to over 75 year olds! The GCN crew was also racing and we witnessed a few recordings they did in the car park, so watch out for the next GCN show!
