Many thanks to everyone that helped make the 2019 Hillclimb a success.
As
it was my first year as co-ordinator, I did not know how much effort and
paperwork was required. In the end it was all worth it seeing the smiles
on people’s faces and I enjoyed the challenge and met a lot of club
members who I did not know.
The club lifted to help to make it happen. With a few phone calls to Garry Blake, Bob Rees, Chester, Kim, Colin (who did the sponsors), a great deal of help was available.
On the day we started at 5.30am with a lot of club members and other riders turning up to help. I went with Bruce to put a bit of temporary fencing at the lookout and by the time we got back to the start line it was all done. A great effort by all.
I would like to thank Chester, Phillip and Ron for putting up all the
road signs. It is a big job to get this right, and all the marshals,
especially the ones that did the Forts turn-off. They probably could
only smell a bit of 2-stroke oil. The time-keepers and the ladies doing
the timing entries both had very busy jobs.
Many people made it work: Brendon the starter, Steve the track marshal,
Andy the comms base operator, and all the club members who helped at the
start line, and the Albany volunteer fire brigade who helped with
marshaling duties.
Well done to Tim Hesford, the overall winner, and to the other winners.
It is Tim’s tenth year coming to the Hillclimb. He is based in Hong
Kong, where he is a passenger jet pilot but makes time for this Albany
event.
Let’s keep this unique event running as long as we can. It is all about
having a good and safe time on motorcycles. What more could anyone want?
