Up The Buttress

Looking for Up The Buttress 2013?

41 brave folk turned up to take on the mighty Hebden Bridge Buttress on Saturday. The 400 yard cobbled climb took no prisoners and for the majority of riders starting from the old town bridge, guaranteed a lung-burning climb under the gaze of a vocal crowd of spectators and semi-professional hecklers.

The conditions were perfect for a fast time and eventual winner, local cyclocross legend Jack Clarkson, took the title in style, fishtailing uphill as he powered up the stupid-steep climb. Many local riders came out to ride and several onlookers were conned, er, persuaded to have a go.

The full results are below.

The event was the first day of the South Pennines Walk and Ride Festival, which is on now, with all sorts of organised rides going on. There’s also going to be a Mountain Bike Film Night in Hebden Bridge Cinema next Thursday, Sept 20th.
