CANCELLED : URBAN HILL CLIMB 2013

It is with regret that we have cancelled / postponed the 2013 Urban Hill Climb due to reasons beyond our control.

As event organisers we feel we have a responsibility not only to provide great events, but also to ensure the safety of all participants and the general public.  With the road conditions as they were just a few hours before start time we could not guarantee a safe event.

We apologise to all those who were coming and thank you for your support of the event, we will look into the possibility of a date later in the year after consultation with all event partners.

Rollapaluza.

The Rollapaluza Urban Hill Climb is an 800m, lung-busting, uphill sprint held on Swains Lane, Highgate, London. Now in it’s fourth year the event has proven to be hugely popular with a broad range of cyclists as well as local residents and spectators.

Thursday 11th July 2013, 6.30pm – 9.30pm.  Swains Lane, London, N6. FREE to ENTER and SPECTATE!

The Urban Hill Climb, generates a unique “alpine” atmosphere in North London,  allowing participants and spectators to experience the   cheering crowds lining the slopes usually only witnessed in the mountain stages of the Tour de France.
