Wednesday - Pub Quiz (Oct 22nd) Where: The Hill, Clifton Time: 8pm Facebook Event A general knowledge quiz with an injection of cycling trivia mixed in. There will be free pizza available for the early arrivers. This won't be for the university challengers amongst you, just an excuse to drink beer and have a laugh! No prize for the winners except the kudos of knowing the name of an obscure 90s Mapei domestique. See you all there!! Cycling caps will also be on sale (£7 each). Brecon Beacons Weekend Away - Road Trip Our first weekend away road trip will be to the Brecon Beacons. We will be leaving in the evening on Friday 7th November for a weekend of picturesque scenery, stunning roads and general good fun. Keep an eye out for sign-up being announced on the facebook group. There will be ~50% subsidy and the cost should be around £25-30 (food, accommodation and transport included). Keep the weekend of 7-9th November free and we'll tell you more soon! Performance and Development Training (Road) Now that you've had time to settle in at university, its time to look forward to the road racing season ahead. This year there will be two teams; Development for those who have little or no racing experience and Performance for those who are old hands. Both teams will have a weekend training session in addition to the Sunday club ride and you will need to be able to ride in the fast group ride (men) and the medium (women).
