Half price British Cycling membership for new members

For some time British cycling has been offering racing members a discounted introductory membership. They are now offering a similar discount to Brighton Mitre's non-racing members who wish to join British Cycling for the first time. The two types of British Cycling membership available to club members are:

1.) Half price Ride membership for any non-racing Brighton Mitre member

2.) Free Race Bronze membership for any Brighton Mitre member who races (Silver for U16s)

Brighton Mitre members can join British Cycling online at britishcycling.org.uk and can access the discount by using the promotional code CLUB4 when buying membership.

Please note that this offer is only open to members joining British Cycling for the first time.

Race Licences 2011

There has been a few queries recently regarding the location of race licences that have been issued by British Cycling. Here is what I can tell you...

British Cycling changed the club contact details from Tristan to me today (21st March). Therefore, any race licences issued by BC prior to today will have gone to Tristan. I have spoken to Tris and he will be sending the race licences he has received in the post*. Any race licences issued by BC after today will come to me and I will inform people when I receive them.

I hope this helps. Any problems, let me know.

*Issuing race licences to Mitre members is subject to the payment of membership subs, so make sure you have paid up if you want your licence!

Social Ride Leader - April/May/June

I'm putting together the new social ride leader rota for April/May/June.

Based on the discussions at the AGM the format will stay mainly the same but a "come and try it" ride will be held on the first Saturday of each month which will be 25-30 mile easy loop for anyone who would like to try a ride with the club but isn't sure of their ability.  This ride will have a separate ride leader.

Ride leaders are expected to:

• Plan the route
• Organise the groups at Cafe Nero and also give the ride briefing
• Look after the ride on the road, making sure people are riding in the group correctly

I'll assume the regular ride leaders are OK to go onto the new rota unless I hear otherwise.  Also please let me know any dates you cannot do or would prefer to do.

New ride leaders are also encouraged so please let me know if you would like to go onto the rota, especially any of our regular Saturday riders (race or social).

The more people we have the less often everyone has to go onto the rota so please let me know.

Thanks

Mark

Club Ride 30th Oct **Change of Start Location to Preston Park Track**

This Saturday's Club ride will have a temporary new home as we start from Preston Park Cycle Track (on Preston Drove).  This is to support the charity ride 'Pedal in Preston Park', details of which are below.

Same start time of 0830.

We will ride laps of the track in club kit for 30 mins (from 0830 until 0900) then head out onto the road to ride the route below, returning for 1130 / 1200.

 

Route for 30.10.10

 

Pedal in Preston Park is the idea of Preston Park Youth Cycle Club member Hamish Milne and starts at 9am, going on to 5pm. The aim is for everyone riding to reach a cumulative distance of 1900 miles, that's 5000 laps, the equivalent of Lands End to John O'Groats and back. This is being organised by Alistair Milne in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and supported by both Preston Park Youth Cycle Club and VC Jubilee.

The event website has additional information .http://www.pedalinprestonpark.co.uk.

 

Club Records

The club records for timed events are now published here.  Some of the Women's records have been broken this year but need to be verified by the committee before the records are updated.

We hope to add furtther details soon on some of the record holders and try to dig some old photos out of the archives.

If anyone has any photos etc please let me know.

Updated 22/10 - Track Records now added
