Your Weekly Newsletter From UOBCC           12th Nov 2013 What you will find in this week's newsletter: Weekly Roundup Film Night Downhill Racing Mega Trip Update Ilton Circuit Race 8th Dec Weekly Roundup On Friday 25 roadies travelled to Wideconbe-in-the-Moor to tackle some devilish Dartmoor climbs and take in some truly incredible scenery. The crocodile tooth profile of the Saturday ride did not disappoint, with everyone thoroughly knackered by the end. We were mostly lucky with the weather, staying dry for all but 30 mins of the ride, however the rain had left its mark on the narrow country roads. On Sunday, a several riders took a tumble on one the wet descents. Fortunately there were only minor injuries. Overall it was a cracking trip, so a huge thanks to Sam (Road Captain) for organising it! We hope you're looking forward to the Mega-trip as much as we are. Film Night - Thursday 21st A heads up for next Thursday's film night hosted by Mads (Ladies Rep). It will be great for a chill out after a hard day of work. We will probably watch Touching The Void (2003), which follows two adventurers on their successful but disastrous and nearly fatal climb of the 6,344-metre Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. 7pm, Thursday 21st Nov at 92c Whiteladies Road (above Harley St Clinic, turn the corner and buzz the 1st floor button by the black door). Maybe bring some drinks or snacks. Hope to see you there. Downhill Racing There will be a DH race on the 16th of November against Bath Exeter and UWE. It's at Triscombe and there are 12 places. Sign up is now open on the Union site. If you want any more information please get in contact with the DH rep Matt Mega Trip Update There are limited spaces available for a couple of MTB riders if you're quick. Sign-up here. Further updates to follow via facebook. Ilton Circuit Race - 8th December The next circuit race in the TVCRA Winter Series at Ilton will take place on 8th December at 11:00. The last race had a very small field, so no doubt numbers will be low again, which gives a good opportunity to grab a few points. Online entries: £15. Entry On The Line = £20. 2 races, E/1/2 and 3/4. Details should appear on British Cycling soon for online entry. For more information about racing, check out our website or contact the Race Captain, Mat. Picture of The Week With so many incredible photos taken on the Dartmoor trip, it may take a few 'Pictures of the Week' to get through the best. This photo of Tom Hall was captured by Ben Alexander, who danced his way up the hill like a mountain goat, leaving him plenty of time to chill with his camera at the ready and capture the pained faces as the other riders passed. If you do take any pictures whilst you're out cycling, and you're happy for us to use them, please do send them to Tom Mowbray. (Or just send us a message on facebook as to where we can find them).
