Bikes certainly do hillclimb in the UK (although I'm not a fan of the practice myself). I'll see if I can find any additional info to back up Rhodo's excellent link.

Gravel Monkey, your mate should be able to find enough info to be able to start racing uphill and hopefully I'll get to photograph him soon ;-) |

Bikes on hills and sprints
Bit of a way off from Essex, but Auto66 runs bike HCs at Olivers Mount and Dalby Forest as well as Sprints at Teesside, Cadwell and Elvington. Some events are consecutive days which can make a longer trip more cost-effective.
