Your Weekly Newsletter From UOBCC          26th Nov 2013 What you will find in this week's newsletter: Weekly Roundup Mega Trip Update UoBCC Christmas Social FOD Adventure Race Winter Circuit Racing Weekly Roundup It's been a reasonably quiet week, with the weather being quite kind to most of the social rides. Here's a video to get you pumped for the weekend. Bring on the Mega Trip! Mega Trip Update There are still 2 more road or MTB spaces left for the trip, these are available to purchase online on the union site. Please ensure your bike is in good working order and you have sufficient kit to stay warm in very very cold condition! Check your brake pads and cables, gears etc. and ensure you're fully stocked up with plenty of food, drink and inner tubes!! UOBCC Christmas Social The Christmas Meal will be at Mud Dock on Wed 11th December. Sign-up is now open (deadline 4th December). The meal is discounted at £20 for 3 courses. Menu available here. We will finish off the night with a trip to SCORE. It's well worth coming along just to check out Tom Hall's dodgy dancing. Forest of Dean Adventure Race (Open5) We've been offered a free place in the Open5 adventure race in the Forest of Dean on 1st December (unfortunately this clashes with the Mega trip). If anyone is interested in taking part, please message Tom Mowbray. Depending on interest, we may use the free space to discount the entry price for a few people. Please note, we will not be providing transport to this event. More details on the event website. The event incorporates 5 hours of mountain biking between checkpoints with some running involved too. Normal entry = £35. Entries close 28th Nov. Winter Circuit Racing There is already a strong contingent of UOBCC riders signed up to race at Odd Down.
