Sunday Morning Time Trials
February 6, 2010 | 06:09 GMT
The SPOCO Series comprises of 16 Club Events all held on Sunday mornings. These are a perfect introduction to time trialling with a handicap prize in each race, and there is a trophy for the overall. These events differ from the evening league in a variety of ways. First of all the field is set in advance to assure the fairest competition, and secondly the courses vary in length and route. Entering the series is easy and you must apply for each individual event before the deadline, which is always midnight on the Tuesday 12 days prior (for 2010 this will be strictly applied).
In addition it is expected that all riders will assist in event organisation by volunteering to put the warning signs out at one event - advice can be provided on where to plant the signs.The first event is on Sunday 7th March, find out all about the SPOCO Series here.

Good Honest Winter Miles
February 6, 2010 | 04:06 GMT
Reliability Rides are about completing a set distance in a target time, they are not races but they do provide a great opportunity for BIG mile base training, in an organised fashion. The Club is hosting two Reliability Rides on two Sundays: 14th & 28th February. This gives you an opportunity to pick a ride that matches your ability/target, and then step up to a bigger ride two weeks later.
Full details (including route maps and profile, and the opportunity to fly through the first route from a helicopter camera) are available in the calendar at the bottom of the home page.
Note that these rides have been coordinated so as not to clash with that of our our friends at North Bucks Road Club, who are holding the Brickhills Challenge on Sunday 21st February 2010. Club Captain says that doing all three rides on successive weekends will put quality miles in your legs - ideal preparation for the club's SPOCO Time Trial Series which commences in March; more to follow...
