We have loads going on in March, including an XC trip to Afan coming up in two weeks. Afan is a club favorite; XC Captain, Eric was overheard praising it as "the most epic trail centre in South Wales." Definitely worth getting along to the last XC trip before BUCS. More details below. Next weekend is Tour de Burrito. Final details will be rolling out this week. Social on Wednesday! Get involved. Social - Ignit10n Launch Party This Wednesday is the IGNIT10N LAUNCH PARTY! There will be team games, loads of glitter, GOLD, and most excitingly, a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!!! It would be so great to get as many people as possible to the launch event to support Ignit10n. We will meet at spoons on the triangle at 8 before heading over to Bunker for our FREE drinks. VERY IMPORTANTLY - the theme is GOLD!! Let's make the effort and kick Ignit10n off to a great start. You don't need to be taking part in Tour de Burrito to come along. Everyone is welcome. Join the event on Facebook. Love Your Bike There will be a Love Your Bike cycling event on Wednesday 5th March, 12-4pm. They will be outside the Richmond Building Bike Shed (or inside it if it rains!).

First session was this morning. There's usually a 24 minute short rep high intensity set (plus warm up and cool down). All abilities welcome. Meet 7am at the downs water tower. Also keep an eye on facebook for Tuesday evening hill reps, and Thursday evening intervals. Time Trials UOBCC Open 10 mile TT - We've only got 6 members signed up to our own TT. It's local. Transport is free, and it'll be really fun, so get your entries in on the CTT website. Bristol South CC are hosting a 27.2mile hilly TT in the Cotswolds on 27th April. We're told it's a course suited to road racers rather than TT specifically, so it could be fun to give it a crack. Details on BSCC website. Entries (£8) by cheque or via CTT website. Details of the BUCS 3-Up TT and Track events are now available online. Picture of The Week Michael just couldn't hack the last 400m... Picture shamelessly screenshotted on Strava. 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).
