ICC Hill Climb – The Windmill
24 July @ 18:30 – 21:00
🌬️ The Windmill Hill Climb — A True Summer Classic!
Some events come and go. This one? It’s become THE event of the summer. The Windmill Hill Climb is firmly cemented in the calendar as an absolute must-do — and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll know exactly why. 🏆
🏔️ The Climb: An Iconic Finish Like No Other
Riders set off from the depot at the bottom of the hill, pushing hard before sweeping into the grounds of the café and crossing the finish line in front of the magnificent Cat & Fiddle Windmill — the highest point in the Ilkeston postcode area. 🌬️ It doesn’t get more dramatic than that.
📍 Sign-On: The Café
Get signed on at the café before making your way to the start. And the best bit? After the racing, the café opens especially for us — and we have the whole place to ourselves. 🎉
That means you and your fellow riders get exclusive access to their incredible selection of baked goods. Yes, you’ve absolutely earned that cake. 🍰
👨👩👧 Brilliant for Spectators & Families
There’s a fantastic, safe viewing area where supporters can gather to watch and cheer riders as they battle their way up to that iconic finish line. A great evening out whether you’re racing or cheering! 📣
🗓️ Flexible as Always
Every Hill Climb is a standalone event, but they’re also part of our Friday evening series throughout July. Do one, do them all — completely your all. No commitment required, just turn up and enjoy!
