The British Hill Climb Championship 2024 // Season Finale

[@durianriders]

That Harry lad ROMPED the field on a 16 year old bike! What a unit!

[@grahamthecyclist]

Brilliant video, Ed, and a great effort from yourself on the climb - it was great to chat with you at the end. I'm pleased the clips came in handy for you! 😁🙏🏼🚴🏽‍♂💨

[@anthonybennett6089]

Magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat. The sign of a true champion 👏

[@charliemei88]

Big thank you to everyone who came out to support, wished Ed luck and made the atmosphere amazing! We couldn’t do it without you! And big up the Muccles CC for always make us feel like part of the club, we love you guys!

[@Emonk2010]

Well done Ed. Fantastic effort - using the clips from other people really brought the climb to life - a great addition.

[@paulcopper2155]

Wonderful video Ed, I rode my first hill climb 64 years ago, when in England and your video brought back so many memories

[@kennyroberts830]

You're already a National Hill Climb Champion Ed, another one would be great, but there are other talented riders over the years who deserved the accolade yet never achieved it, you however are up there with those deserving winners, be proud my friend!

[@littlemilllosers]

Ed you are a star, fantastic effort, the climb this year opened the field up. Be proud

[@peteralkins1637]

Thanks for sharing the video of the ride, Ed ... thank you, Charlie, for your part in the production and your partnership. Congratulations on your performance on the day ... PB!! I have been following you since your Condor days. Always impressed with your honesty, willingness to share and keeping on pushing to improve. Lessons to me, a 74 year old cyclist.... Have a plan. Stick with the plan. Measure. Adjust. Do the work! Nutrition is important. Have fun. Be happy with doing your best. Can't wait to see the plan for next year. Cheers, Champ!

[@PierreAlainMaire]

Congrats for the PB and a very good time ! You gave it all and it was a huge push ! Very nice video, I like how you chat with the camera. Cheers Charlie, great supporter 🙂

[@matthewread7991]

An awesome effort Ed and an awesome series to follow ! You always provide great insight into the BHCC and the training that goes on behind the scenes! Enjoy your break next year (although - what on earth are we going to watch next October!) and come back to claim the title in 2026! You remain an inspiration to many!

[@ianjohnson5653]

Fantastic video, smiled all the way through it! What an event, everyone is a winner in their own way. Big congratulations to a deserved winner in Harry Mac. Thanks to Ed and Charlie for sharing the journey 🙌🏼

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

brilliant top 10 on a course that far from suited you Ed. Thanks again for bringing us on your journey - and how about an event up Constitution Hill in Swansea one day?! 🙂

[@junksmiles]

We really need to get a Hll Climb series in the US. This looks mad fun.

[@soulboy78]

Great video as per and well done on PB power. Top ten is not at all shabby and really nice to see you enjoying the whole day and taking in more of the event. Look forward to seeing more videos real soon 👍

[@crankgreenwatts]

Amazing 🙌 Thank you Ed and Charlie for bringing the journey to us ❤ Makes us all wish to try 🤔 Well done Ed done BAKPDL and yourself proud 💯

[@TheWelshtart]

Chapeau Ed and another excellent upload. It's great to see you more chilled and still churning out monster watts. Da iawn. 😎❤

[@stevenbalderstone709]

Great effort, amazing power numbers. Just shows that our bodies adapt to specific training, even if the event isn't ideally suited to us. Let's hope they find a 12 minute climb for next year.

[@guy5796]

Such a great video thank you! Gives a real insight. I loved the camaraderie and your attitude is just spot on! Well done Ed and thanks to everyone who made it possible. 😊Guy

[@jonathanbrown4186]

Wonderful video Ed.. The whole series has been thoroughly enjoyable. Many congratulations on the PB !

[@jakobjas4212]

Congrats on the ride Ed and those fantastic power numbers, you really knocked it out of the park. I'm hoping next year for a bit of a longer route. Seems a little strange to have national championships over just a 3-5 minute effort.

[@Bandyrobs1]

Well done Ed. Have enjoyed the build up videos very much. Look forward to the next challenge

[@Chris-dw3xl]

Great footage from everyone involved and awesome ride real exciting juxst amazing

[@999shaznay]

Enjoyed that one very much, especially seeing a very relaxed Ed! Lovely to see you both. X

[@clarkmacfarlane7831]

Great video Ed and a personal best power is worth celebrating. Even better to see you in person and cheer you on. You are welcome in the North East anytime! 👏

[@CycletheNation]

You were definitely more chilled and pragmatic in the morning Ed (orange hoodie and mohawk!), it was nice to see you not put any pressure on yourself. Was great to properly meet you and Charli, it was a hell of a day! I'll try and give you a heads-up when I'm back in your neck of the woods for my challenge next year. :)

[@thedoginside]

You did creat Ed. Reqlly enjoyed watching your 'journey' to the start line. Thanks 👏🏼

[@mikefandango294]

What great support, well done mate!

[@steveread1798]

Well done Ed, I’ve really enjoyed following you this year. It was nice to meet you back on Bushcombe Hill a few weeks ago and hope you will be there again next year even just as a spectator?. All the best

[@alexwhitmore1748]

Been great following the series and training plan. Great effort on Sunday, and nice to see you back enjoying it. Can’t wait to see what’s planned next. 🙂

[@derekpugh5457]

It’s been an incredible ride ….literally congratulations on your ride and your attitude towards it, so healthy and sportsman like. Going to miss 2025, but still love your other vides

[@ianbates6618]

Great ride Ed and it’s been brilliant to watch all your videos leading up to it. A real eye opener to the dedication needed. Chapeau 👏👏👏

[@JSC131]

Brilliant effort Ed fair play well done.

[@ethangodridge6833]

Thanks Ed and Charlie

[@musclelessfitness2045]

Good effort ! You finished your season with a PB, regardless of the race results.

[@derx6666]

Stellar performance mate. Hopefully in '26 the course will be somewhat longer again.

[@sjjw43]

Well done, Ed. I've been following hill climbing for 5 years now & specifically your journey. Thank you SO much for sharing it! I registered for this one but didn't make the cut. I hope to experience the atmosphere one day.

[@samhainsnightmare9436]

Well done!! You’re a true inspiration!!!!

[@DuckRideDuck]

These are my favourite videos of the year. Great ride, on to next year and hopefully a longer climb 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BrewsGamesRides]

Thank you both for the fun videos!

[@glennwilliams5869]

Job iawn Ed. PB power....can't ask any more 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@mattgilmour9761]

Well Done Ed , you gave it everything and inspired people on the way, can't ask for much more 🫡

[@paultowns9880]

Well done Ed. Thanks to you and Charlie for a great video. Take care.

[@nigelshannon2069]

Like so many I have followed all your blogs and got to speak with you at the top of the shoe after your ride. You are a great ambassador for this sport. I would love to see you win it again but whether you do or don't it won't change your standing. A champion 😊

[@Lazy_Jay_Racing]

Well done Ed... Was a great day for us spectating ( cowbell induced tinnitus)😂👏👏👍🏼

[@Bethanyscarlett777]

Brilliant video!!! Amazing ride!! I almost lost my voice shouting ‘come on Ed’ 😂😂

[@davestewartDWCC]

Great video Ed and thanks to Charlie for hee footage as well

[@esbdemesa9427]

Very strong ed!! Also pretty sure disc brakes cost andrew more than 2 seconds and the win. Rim brakes are back beybiiii

[@TBATTIECYCLING]

😂😂😂😂

[@CycleXplorer]

Well done pal. Been great watching your vids in the lead up. Inspirational stuff. 🏔️ 🐐

[@deandunn206]

Well done, top 10 is great. Hope you enjoyed being around my old cycling area.

[@topaz_climber]

Ed, you could come 99th and still be the best ambassador for our weird little corner of the cycling world. See you next year!

[@peterthomas8053]

Brilliant execution and PB on power.👍 Can't wait to watch you continue with your cyclocross videos, and maybe some gravel races.🤔

[@davieislay]

Quality in every aspect! 👍

[@davidprice2542]

Go back to the tinned rice pudding next year! Thanks for an interesting journal of your preparation for this event. All the best for next years plans whatever they may be. 💪👏

[@TriathlonDan]

Smashed it Ed!

[@alexandersivov6999]

Great Ed!! You can’t beat everyone all the time!! But beat yourself and make PBs and enjoy yourself, it’s a biggest success!! 🎉❤

[@paulralph2026]

Well done ed , great performance once again , if not the result you wanted , Roll on next year !!! Paul@backpedal D1

[@user-mh1er9pb8i]

Well done on a great season

[@stevenfreeman7798]

Brilliant performance on what is far from your fave type of course well done!.

[@markdowns4854]

Well done Ed! Love the vlogs

[@djrlloyd]

Remind me not to go on a ‘steady social ride’ with you Ed 😂😂. Great effort on the climb 👍👍💪💪

[@jamesfindlay8690]

The extended shots of you waiting at the start line gave me proper pre-race anxiety

[@benthilwind6908]

Aw mate what a sick day

[@roadcyclist1]

If it's a race, it's ALWAYS about the result!

[@andrew30m]

PB Awesome!! well done

[@jimbo2112]

Well, you look so much happier than last year! Great job of a short, power climb, which is not most suited to you. 3rd place going to an under 18 as well! Harry Hudson - One to look out for!

[@Cycle.every.day.]

I take it the modern narrow bars craze doesn't come into hill climbs , because lateral breathing trumps aero in this discipline.

[@TBATTIECYCLING]

Big up Ed and his hill climb

[@kevstephen9393]

Can't ask for more than you did. Well done... 10hrs, though. I was just over 4 hours, and that was bad enough 😂

[@irl-cyclist01]

Rim for the win

[@edlarse]

what did your bike weigh in at on the day??

[@TBATTIECYCLING]

4.2kg

[@chirpy999]

I always wonder if the fans are too close, what was it 15 seconds covered the top 10?

[@htukmumfie]

well done ed. i rode a 60mile loop to cheer you on👍. really enjoyed it. well done on your 3min pb. enjoy the social/gravel rides for a few weeks😁. (what would be your perfect hill climb location- other than haytor vale?)

[@howkiatz]

Great stuff boy why you skip next year hill climb champs?

[@tomshaw7738]

Is it on bank road next year?

[@999shaznay]

That's the rumour.

[@JK-wl5bx]

What's the stats on that hill

[@tomshaw7738]

@@JK-wl5bx the winning time in 2016 was about 2.20, so short but very steep.

[@martinyoung6444]

I rode one season of hill climbs after a heavy road season, rode 6 won 5 beaten on one by Daryl Webster, rode on my road bike and I never went full chat, never did another season of em, couldn't see the point.

[@timtaylor9590]

Yup the big youngn took this one. Not suited for smaller riders. Harry Mac would've beaten many smaller world tour pros. The world champs should be a single day 3 course race with different profile stages. One short course is lazy and nonsensical
