It was a beautiful and clear autumnal day for the 2022 Double Bulbarrow Hill Climb. Riders from 9 diffferent Clubs and Teams entered this tough event featuring the climbs of Woolland and Stoke Wake. First a big thank you to our helpers (James, Marlene, Pete, Kate, Greg, Simon & Mark) without whom the event could not take place, and to Wheels of Dorset and Kalas for donating prizes. Also to our friends at Bamboo Coffee for supporting another GDW event.
