It's Brass Monkeys at Brass Monkeys. Racing ambitions have shifted to getting rad for the photographer. #phillgetwild
Well the website is back online. Cheers for bearing with us!
Exams are in full flow so not much riding is getting done, but we are looking toward the light at the end of the tunnel. So much infact we are going to smash this up in Bristol in Feb…
Another week, another edit. One for the roadies, as the last proper footage of them we had was from last year. Enjoy.
Thanks to the guys who made it today, and to Jacob and Pierre for helping out with filming.
The camera will probably go away for a bit now. Next vid: velodrome trip? Stay tuned.
So we’re holding the annual club Hill Climb next Sunday the 30th October. As it is every year it is quite a chilled out affair and the main aim of it is to have a bit of a laugh – but with a competitive edge. Because it’s Halloween next weekend there is a special Halloween fancy dress category, as well as the usual ones:
Fastest Road Bike
Fastest XC Bike
Fastest DH Bike
Fastest Fresher
Fastest Singlespeed
Best Halloween Fancy Dress
Big thanks must go to Road.cc our club sponsors who are providing us with a bag of stuff to give away as prizes. You legends.
The meeting time will be 10am at the bottom of Bathwick Hill by the bus stop. The course will run right to the junction of North Road, and after everyone who wants to has been up the hill we’ll go to Parade on campus for coffee and cake.
If you plan to ride or have any questions then hit us up on twitter @bathunicc, it should be a lot of fun.
Format will be classic TT start with riders starting off at specific time intervals. Please bear in mind this is not a race – purely a challenge with prizes
Non students are welcome to tag in, but keep in mind this is very unofficial and organised by students and not to be taken seriously, otherwise we’ll make you buy cake at the pub.
Small print…
As we are riding on public roads, you must obey the highway code and ride sensibly. The club will disown you and have no sympathy if you hurt yourself riding like an idiot.
Some of the XC riders decided that a trip to Bristol would be a good way to spend a Saturday, and they were right. 8 hours, two pump tracks, a BMX track and a hot lap of Ashton Court after they left, a noticably more tired group arrived back in Bath. Some awesome photos were taken, this one is my personal favourite. Watch this space for a vid on the way too.
No, not the one in Munich that lasts for two weeks, But the equally challenging 8hour end of season Enduro at the excellent Ashton Court trails of Bristol.
The first social of the year, the uni pub crawl went down last Wednesday. With an even earlier start time this year, it got pretty epic as the night went on. Thanks to all who came, and those who organised it. Plans for another one again this year are already in the pipeline….
Anyone who is thinking about joining the club this year – in fact anyone who likes a good video – take a look at this awesome edit that Doug has been putting together. It’s pretty much a highlight reel of most (not all!) of the club’s riding last year. Getting stoked for another year with Bath Uni CC!
What better way to start a new university cycling year than being heckled up a hill climb…..with cobbles?!
Entries open 8pm tonight, and they will go fast!
Obviously, as with the awesome crits last year, coming down and heckling at the sidelines is actively encouraged, Frome is only 14 miles away.
