It’s an uphill battle

Next month’s Kop Hill Climb festival is set to be a classic extravaganza with scores of Matchlesses, Triumphs and even Brough Superiors expected to attend. Situated between Aylesbury and Watford, the first bike climb started in 1910 and 200 or more bikes are expected, ranging across a hundred plus years of mechanical chain, belt and shaft driven complexity. It runs between September 15-16.
