NBRC Club Meeting 11th December, 7.30pm onwards. All members welcome!
Darren has emailed to say:
The Bioracer kit samples have arrived - I will bring them to the next meeting up at the club room (which I believe is next Monday?) for anyone wanting the new kit to try on.
If you're interested in buying new club kit, this meeting would be worth attending! If there are further items for the agenda, I'll post them here. In the meantime, here's what the new kit will look like (click on the image for a bigger version).

The Brickhills Challenge was originally an early season Reliability ride at the end of February for the racing guys to hone their early season form. With a succession of hills and narrow lanes it was also ideal for the new breed of sportive rider training for Flanders. After two years in a row being snowed off the event was switched to October.
The Brickhills are on the southern border of Milton Keynes. You are never more than 15 kms from HQ. The course includes 14 climbs including Bow Brickhill, the steepest at nearly 20%, which was used by the Milk Race one year. This is only 300 metres from HQ so ideal for spectators.
Three Locks is the longest climb at about 1.5 kms with gradients of 6 to 10%.
Riders pass through beautiful villages including Aspley Guise, Great, Bow and Little Brickhill, Woburn and Drayton Parslow.
The 52 mile (85 kms) course should take between 2hrs 45 mins and 4 hours to complete. Given the relatively short distance there are no feed stops.
Every rider will be given a bottle of water at the finish and can enjoy free tea and coffee, cakes and sandwiches at event HQ.
Random spot prizes will be awarded and there will be prizes for best classic racing bikes.

Tony Farmborough emailed in to alert members to last weekend's national '24':
Hi all,
I guess you may already be aware but, just in case you are not, Steve Abraham has managed to set a new club 24hr record. It now stands at 449.44 miles. Only last year it was set by Steve at 448.193 miles.
Former NBRC rider Geoff Bunyan smashed his previous best of 392.770 with a new PB of 420.21 miles.
Congratulations to them both.

I made a minor website update this morning following a comment from a rider at last night's club event (was it you, Martin?). This related to the annoying EU e-privacy directive banner. This is a legal requirement of all websites in the EU - we need to alert users to the fact that the site (as do most websites) uses cookies. The old banner would appear each time the website was opened - the new version should only appear once - I presume it sets a cookie if the acceptance is selected, so unless you clear your browser's cookies should shouldn't see it more than once.
As ever, report any website issues to Robert.
