We'll meet in spoons on the triangle at 8:30pm before heading over to bunker to claim our FREE drinks. See you all there! Join the event on facebook. Want a Subsidy to Race? We have £100 to subsidise road racing at Odd Down circuit on 9th February. If you've ever wanted to give racing a go, now's your chance!! Women's race = FREE (with a £6 discount) Men's race = £5 (with a £7 discount) Funding will be allocated on a first come first served basis to the first 14 members to fill out the form on our website. Please read the instructions first! Info about race licences is also on the website. We hope this will encourage a big UOBCC turn out for the race. Don't be shy. Now's your chance to give it a go. Triscombe DH Race - 8th February DH race at triscombe. It will be largely similar to the first one, but expect to run smoothly since it's been done before. Sign-up online (Triscombe DH Race Round 2) for £10. Matt will post meeting time nearer to the day, but the trip will, like last time, take up most of the day. XC and Road Trip Info Soon Dates for the diary. 1st March - Forest of Dean trip for both XC and DH. 15th March XC trip to Afan. We're also looking into hosting a BMX-style race at Patchway sometime too. Brecon Beacons road trip. Date to be confirmed. What would make you cycle more?
