All about the race:
⛰️ Watership Down (yes, where those warring rabbits live!)

😰 0.5 miles. Average gradient of 10% with a 20% kicker at the start and a horrible, steep grind up to the finish!
⏰ The fastest rider’s time will be around 2 minutes 💨 💨 💨
☀️ Sunshine guaranteed (probably)
📣 Lots of support on the climb. History of cheering rabbits and dinosaurs 🐰 🦖 🐰
🏆 Great prizes. Equal awards for men and ladies, with age group prizes too.
🍰 Cakes… oh yes, LOTS of homemade cake 😋
