NO. FOUR

Sorry it's been a while getting the first newsletter out this 
term, but there hasn't been all that much news...

CUPPPERS – SAT 22 FEB.
This is the important reminder. Come and support your 
college, and have a go at a time-trial, particularly if you 
haven't before. Being a 10 miler, this is the one to try.
Meet 2pm at Brookside to ride out to the course at 
Landbeach, or about 2:25pm (2:30pm latest) at the start. 
This is the same course as the Intro 10. No entry fee 
required, and the fastest 2 riders from each college 
constitute a team – however, it is an individual TT. Please 
note that riders *must* be a member of an RTTC affiliated 
club (eg CUCC) in order to ride for insurance purposes, and 
if not a member of CUCC should bring proof of their 
membership of another club.

This will also be the last selection event for the teams for the 
BUSA 4-up Team Time Trial. Anyone wishing to ride should 
make sure Tony Hornbuckle (93th@eng.cam.ac.uk) knows. 
We will take as many teams as there is interest. This event 
is 50km and takes place on 16 March.

STUDENT MTB CHAMPS – 22/23 MARCH
This is the big one for the muddy people. Entry forms now 
available from Jez (jpw24@cam.ac.uk), and should be 
returned to him by 24 Feb. 'Cos it's Huddersfield we'll have a 
shocker with the hills, but most of us are doing the Downhill 
as well for a laugh.

SOCIALS
Have been noticably low on numbers recently. Come along 
and say hello. We meet in the Free Press (hard to find Pub 
behind the Parkside Police Station – but well worth it 
because it is smoke free, and so clothes don't end up 
stinking for the next week), where we generally book the 
large table round the corner from 9.00.

CLUB RIDES
In case you hadn't realised, the Tuesday and Thursday rides 
now meet at 2.00, still at Brookside. But Saturdays stay at 
1.00 (apart from next week for Cuppers).

RACE RESULTS
The BUSA Cyclo cross was the first race of it's type for, I 
think, all us. But we amazingly managed to get the bronze 
Team medals. Until they found that we actually came fourth, 
and now we have to give them back! well, at least we kept 
the beer.
