The latest news from the North Bucks Road Club, including club news and announcements; club events and results; news relating to the wider cycling community. Club event results are periodically moved to the "Club Events" area, accessible from the menu above.
Dick has prepared another newsletter (October 2021) - as usual, he's distributed some copies as hard copy - here is the pdf version:
I've also produced a brief overview of how our return to running a time trial league went this year. Actually, it went well, if a little stressed by roadworks and availability of helpers! You can read the article here.
Dick Selley has issued another 'President's Newsletter'. Read it here.
The club time trial on Saturday September 18th (9am start) will be over two laps of the Astwood circuit. This is an invitation event open to clubs who've supported our club time trials over this and past seasons.
It will be an invitation team competition (not a TTT) with a field limit of 40 riders.
Entry will be as usual via Results Base and preference will be given to invited teams as follows:
Chronos RT
QN Racing
MK Road Club
Team MK
Leighton Buzzard RCC
Bossard Whs
NBRC
Equipe Velo
CC Luton
Team Corley
Teams are invited to enter 4 riders each with the best 3 to count as team time. We'll probably sort the field after entries are in.
Individual riders may enter and will be held as reserves to make up a full field after the teams have been allocated if the field limit permits. Our regular podium finishers will be given preference in this case. Field layout will separate team riders.
Prizes will be presented after the event at the Bike Bus and comprise...........

Dick has delivered another of his occasional Club Newsletters - it can be accessed as a pdf here.
After last year's lack of racing, once we restarted our club events in 2021, things have gone rather well. Using ResultsBase to handle the entries has proven successful (and popular). Not having to handle a cash box at each event is part of our Covid precautions and clearly simplifies each event. We don't always have enough smartphones at the event, so sometimes the automatic delivery of results via the ResultsBase a=has been missing. The club is grateful for those who's efforts to place signs and do the timekeeping has meant we've been able to put these events on. As always, volunteers are always welcome!
We've made a couple of changes to the 2021 club event calendar:
The Club is delighted to announce the resumption of our Club TT League. We will start with the event on 14th April, and we are making changes to how we manage our events to ensure we are compliant with CTT guidance. In particular, we will be partnering with Results Base to handle entries and results. As this system is still being set up, we will add further details to this announcement over the next few days. Entries will be required in advance, with payment online.
Coronavirus precautions: We have provided detailed guidance on how we plan to organise this event to ensure that riders and officials are protected. This guidance is based on official CTT guidance.
New CTT Regulations: All competitors must have a functional rear light on their bicycle. No light, no ride. This regulation would have been in force for 2020, but we cancelled our events due to the pandemic!

Here's the latest in the series of our occasional Newsletters. Also available as a pdf download. The pdf is a bit better laid out!
The President's Occasional Newsletter January 2021
Members Update
After a rather tumultuous 2020 season, how the 2021 season will play out is still not very clear. Nationally, we are in lockdown, which clearly impacts on sporting activities and on meetings. This email seeks to clarify where we are as a club.
Membership
You may recall that in the light of Covid restrictions in 2020, the Committee decided to roll over everyone’s membership for 2021 at no extra cost. We will not be requiring people to submit membership applications for 2021, but if you wish to leave the club, please let us know.

NBRC Committee Update August 2020
Over the last few weeks, the Club Committee has held a series of meetings to discuss our approach to club activities as England relaxes Covid-19 lockdown restrictions (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are managing these independently).
Dick Selley has prepared another of his occasional newsletters, which can be obtained at this link: May 2020 NBRC Newsletter.
