Current Issues/Information

·        RELIABILITY TRIALS – The dates for the reliability trials have now been confirmed, these events will take place within the month of February. These events are a great way to gauge your level of fitness, and the set up is that of an APR so you can find a suitable group. Please click here to view the dates.  The calendar will be updated in due course.

·         SUNDAY CLUB RUNS – As of Sunday 10th Jan there will be two separate runs. These will be suitable for riders who are aiming to raise their fitness to racing standard for the coming season.  A separate club run of a lesser intensity will also be provided.  Please note that this run will be a proper club run i.e. no rider is dropped from the group unless during the gallop in the last 5 miles or so.

·         RESULTS – The 2010 results sheet is up as you can see it is blank so let’s do something about this people!  It is interesting to look at the 2009 results sheet and look at the amount of us who rode events there a good few!

·         FORUM – The forum has now been set up.  The forum is only available to club members.  Once you log on I will need to clear you for access, please be patient as I will activate you when I am logged onto my computer.  The address is FBC Forums. In order for your account to be fully activated I need to know your full name to tick you off of the membership list so I will probably email you if you reply with your full name then the account can be activated.

·         PRO RECALL – Thanks to the Stirling Cycle Repairs for the heads up on this.  Pro have issued a voluntary recall of their PRO Hi Comp Stem.  The stem’s were produced between Nov 2003 and June 2006.  The recall applies to all sizes and diameters.  If you have one please contact Stirling Cycle Repairs, a contact email can be found under the links section.

·        KINGSCAVIL HILLCLIMB – The sole representative of the FBC in the Kingscavil hillclimb was young Nick Hunter and did the young lad do us proud!  Young Nick was first Jnr coming in a fantastic 21st place, with a time of 3.26.31. I think soon all of us will be watching and trying to hang his back wheel up the climbs, again great effort Nick! To view photo’s click here.
