Gateway Annual Hill Climb 2016 – Sunday 6th November
For the fourth year running we will be using Childerditch Lane again for our hill climb, it will start at 10:00 at the bottom of Childerditch Lane on the north (Brentwood) side of the A127, and is for club members only.

Gateway @ the Velodrome & Octobers Club Night

Coaching catered to the group was well received with people progressing much quicker than the public sessions and confidence was high given that you know the wheels you are following.
