We'll go up a day or two early to ride Glentress and whatever else we want. Try MTB Session There will be a "Try Mountain Biking" session in mid-Feb sometime, taking place at Ashton Court. We'll start off learning some basic skills like obstacle clearance and cornering, then go on to explore some of the local trails. Cost tbc will depend on how many bikes we need to hire (likely to be ~£10). Pub Quiz Time: Thursday 7pm (29th Jan). Location: Roll for the Soul Facebook Event We hope you have all been revising hard... for the second UOBCC pub quiz! The mildly cycling related quiz makes a comeback, this time hosted at Roll for the Soul. So come along and catch up with all your cycling buds while enjoying a selection of excellent beers as well as chips on the club budget for those who arrive promptly. Once we've had our fill of quizzing those that are still keen can head round the corner to spoons (Commercial rooms) UOBCC Open 10 mile TT - 28th March Some may still be feeling a bit sluggish after Christmas, but racing has already begun and the TT season will begin with the UOBCC Open TT in its 2nd year. Entries open online now. Go to the CTT website and filter the events entries by: Distance: '10' Month: 'March' District: 'West' (or this direct link might work...)
