Climb pushes on

UP and over was the goal as riders faced up to Knox’s Hill on the weekend.
Armed with all types of off-road motorbikes, a huge number of competitors tried to take on the Leongatha Motorcycle Club’s Knox’s Hill Climb.
A few found glory through the steep and muddy terrain, while others gave it their all yet fell by the wayside.
Club secretary Christine Payne said it was a good day despite a low turnout of spectators.
“Spectators were down which may have been to do with the mud,” she said.
“There were a great number of participants though, with a mix of new people as well the regular riders.”
Rumours circulated before the event that this may be the last hill climb.
“We’re not too sure whether it will or won’t be the last one,” Ms Payne said.
“We will just play it by ear from now on.”
Rick Miles took out the Kevin Cook Memorial Trophy on his KTM 450 while the Jake Kavanagh Memorial (Under 15 years 80 – 100cc) went to Rhys Kratzat on his CRF100.
