As events a hill climb may either be an individual time trial which forbids cooperation, drafting , or team tactics or a regular road race. A hill climb usually represents an event which gains altitude continuously, usually terminating at a summit. Well known hill climbs include the Mt. Evans Hill Climb and the Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb . The Cycle to the Sun race is a young race run on a volcano in Maui, Hawaii. Hill climbs occasionally feature in major professional races, such as the Tour de France , but they are usually referred to as mountain time trials , and are not necessarily from the bottom to the top of a hill, although they usually are they can simply be a time trial over hilly terrain . In Great Britain there is an end of season tradition of cycling clubs promoting hillclimb time trials in October, for small cash prizes. The hills tend to be relatively short, usually taking between three and five minutes to complete, and the races attract many spectators, including locals not otherwise interested in cycling, who come to watch the pain of the faces of competitors. Hill climbing is one of the key skills required to make cycling more enjoyable. One of the best ways to learn this skill is through practice. There are several ways to practice. Solo intervals or group rides that focus on hill climbs. The http lowkey.djconnel.com 2007 Low Key Hillclimb series in the San Francisco bay area is a good example of a climbing series focused on developing an individual rider s climbing skill.
