In the 50's and 60's downhilling was popular with some club riders who would strip their bikes, replace grease with oil to try to travel the greatest distance without pedaling after decending a large hill.

Our freewheel event was resurected in 1997 starting at the top of British Camp heading in the direction of Ledbury. After the same rider won the event three times members lost interest and there have been no competitors for the past two years.
