Your Weekly Newsletter From UOBCC           5th Nov 2013 What you will find in this week's newsletter: Weekly Roundup Social-Wednesday Downhill Racing UPDATE: Dartmoor Road Trip Mega Trip Track Accreditation Weekly Roundup Last week saw the Mega Trip take a record as one of our quickest sell-out trips ever! There are still a few spots left for MTB. Road riders, read on for more info about how to get your name on a reserves list. The weather was less than ideal for the Sunday social ride, with huge downpours catching out most riders. If you're prepared, the weather shouldn't dampen your day. Roadies, please bring lights to Wednesday rides and remember a rain jacket, food/water and inner tube on every ride. Check out this video from GCN for some ideas on what kit to bring on a ride. MTB, you're probably too rad for any of that, but please try to avoid frost-bite... a simple set of gloves can avoid a whole lot of form filling. Wednesday Social After a break last week in the social calendar after SCORE, this week’s social will be a slightly less hard-core affair. We will meet for drinks at 8pm at the Highbury Vaults, it’s at the top of St. Michaels hill just down from the ASS Library (164 St Michael's Hill, BS2 8DE). This will be a great chance to get to know everyone in the club a bit better in possibly a slightly less drunken state than previous socials! 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 UPDATE: Dartmoor Road Trip Those with a spot on the Dartmoor trip, please fill out both forms on our website: here. Please also note that you must bring a sleeping bag as the hostel doesn’t provide bedding. Mega Trip (29th Nov - 1st Dec) Sign-up here to ride with XC or DH. Add Megatrip MTB to your basket.The sign-up for this trip will close on Monday (11th Nov) so if you want to come make sure you sign up before then so you don't miss out! All the spaces for Road riders have now sold out. To get your name on a reserves list, please email Sam Game. We are hoping to add another car of 4 people to take us up to the maximum capacity of the hostel so please make sure you email Sam ASAP if you want a space. To make it fair we would allocate any additional spaces that came available on a first come first served basis by the order of the emails sent to Sam. </ br></ br> Track Accreditation A reminder: the next accreditation session at Newport Velodrome is on 11th Dec, 5-6pm and costs £20. This is for anyone who wishes to participate in open track sessions outside of the normal UOBCC track trips. If you're interested in this please contact the track rep Georgie.
