How does the race work? Are people assigned to bikes or do the distributers race the bikes themselves. Would be good to have timing for each bike. Although it is obvoulsly the combination of electric bike performance and rider that makes the winning combination rather than the bike alone.

Alistair,first time I have seen that video....Kudos will definitely be there on June 23...it will be a more difficult choice this year as to which bike we put in the challenge....hope we all enter into the spirit of the event and don't hire Bradley Wiggins to ride the bikes?

Were I exhibiting, I would invite Wiggins to come along for a promotional visit.

He's a down-to-earth guy who seems to make his own decisions, so just might go for it.

Worst he can do is say no.

Rob.....I should have been more specific.....I didn't mean that Wiggo shouldn't be invited,it would be an amazing coup to have him there.....what I meant was that us importers should not put hired uphill professional riders on our bikes just to look good on the day. It will be one of my employees who will ride a Kudos bike up the hill.

I had grasped that, but your mention of Wiggo gave me the idea of inviting him.

We know he still rides - and crashes - on the road, and he commented on the helmet debate, so he has a genuine interest in us ordinary cyclists.

Cant wait for this year Alistair, last year was great fun, I will never forget how 'uber excited' Andrew was when he won the race :D

So, put CycleCharge | Charge on the move down again and I will make sure I get back from Germany for it.

Good idea to ask Wiggins Rob.......he might just say yes....what a coup........

Jackhandy,actually its not....the guy you are talking about is Andy,he is mad on a bike. It will be Paul who will ride the hill,he is a keen cyclist on off road events but definitely not a hillclimb professional.
