Good morning hello my name is Daniel this is the triathon Dan YouTube channel and you join me today in the Town Center of ilon where there is a boxing day Hill Climb and bit of a special Hill Climb actually cuz there’s quite a lot of elite riders that turn up not to mention

Dan Smith Mr UK bike fit official behind me Dan good morning event of the year for you today yeah the only event of the year it’s worthwhile I mean what what what’s going through your mind why have you going to the hill clim boxing day i’

I’ve always wanted to do this but it’s just never happened with like family stuff always had something on but today the stars are line so I thought I better do it it’s just good way to get out on boxing day is it get get over the Christmas Day sludge stars have aligned

Indeed Dan has said if he wins today he’s going to give away a 1,000 voucher for UK B that’s the win is for this is it so we have local Legend Adam Kenway we have GB Academy Riders Jack broth and Josh Giddings and there’s a quite a few

Um strong women as well Melissa Denon Amy Hudson yeah some quite good climbers so best of luck to you done why did you look at me and laugh then tell us about the climbing Dan what’s it like uh going yeah it’s pretty as climbed go I think it’s pretty tame

Compared to some others on the hill climb circuit it’s not it’s not steep at all I think the average is about uh 6% or something 5 and a half% but like work yeah it’s it’s just if you can keep a high speed you’ll be able to carry it

Quite nicely cuz you never really hit any steep gradients that slow you right down so I think getting off the line quick is important yes full on the gun now the K is held by heart Adam Kenway 58 seconds and he average 946 WTS yeah I won’t be doing

That if I can do half that it be result some fast ties we look forward to getting stuck in in the minute all the children are going all the Juniors obviously any age competes as closed Road and then it as the event goes on I think it’s 92 riders or 93 Riders signed

On so that’s awesome Lo ji K where’s the I was going to say where’s the tins are they yours breakfast already here some South Norm’s finest day to support morning Lads morning how do how are you I’m all right to do that kid in a lar

Day is it sming it it’s feel about quality Street for breakfast didn’t it have you got a tu for that can you hear me bed up that’s my oh we go excuses before he gets beat by kids come on have best night sleep I bet you missed your Christmas

Dinner for this didn’t you yeah I had a car I’ve eaten my body weight in dessert and cheese so it’s not the greatest prep for a hill climb is it all right so kids are flying past and I always feel a bit weird trying to get videos of children

So I probably stay away from that Dan is off in a couple of minutes and we’re right near the top so that is the finish here so obviously we want to see him in maximal pain the average speed for those at the point end is over 20 mph so it’s

A fast climb we think Dan will be maybe a few seconds behind that he’s going to give everything he’s got and he’s actually going to start pretty hard so he says so could be interesting in seeing here come on down go go on down push push push go on down push push push

Push time people when you cross the line said well that’s the Benchmark really no uh about 112 I think okay Hil about hold about 650 until the corner yeah but that could be the faster way to do it couldn’t it maybe if I could have

Held could have held it up to here yeah then it starts flying off I’d have been all right but I think I lost a bit on that yeah on that section see if I’ll let you give it another go H see if I’ll let you give it another

Go I’ll give it another go give me a year to recover I’ll be all right get off it’s my secret stash it’s my secret to cat 3 mediocrity yeah push push push push push push push push hold on push push push push push push hold on P push push hold on push push

Push come on Jack push push push go on me well why weren’t you going that fast why weren’t you going that fast I don’t know I don’t know what it is look at that carves there look at them oh big prize here so um this guy’s featured quite a bit trh actually Back massive Round of Applause one minute and two one minute two without incredibly fast time uh this the first place goes to M ad [Applause] k say a coup words I just like to say thanks to everybody who organizes the he’s here it’s on boxing day and I know I saw on
