Motorcycle hill climb event returns to Kilburn, North Yorkshire

The annual event is run by the Pickering and District Motor Club (PDMC) and will take place in Kilburn on June 18.

It regularly attracts riders from across the north of England, and sees riders go head-to-head in an off-road race up the hill, which steepens to a near vertical slope at the top just before the finish line.

Races will take place with different classes to suit different machines and rider age groups.

Matt Stubbings, PDMC’s president said: “PDMC aim to keep things simple, a safe, enjoyable environment that’s inclusive to all whilst providing some high class competitive racing.

“Anyone with a passion for motorsport can get involved with PDMC, whether it’s setting tracks up, helping organise and run events, spectate, race or even a combination of all of the above.”

This year, the club is celebrating its 100th year.

“For any club or organisation to have run successfully for 100 years is a phenomenal achievement and it’s the people behind the scenes that make this a possibility,” added Matt.
