Were improving the format of the ‘BCC Weekender’ by launching a new event on day two… It’s called the ‘TickerTape Jam’ and will be monkey phat lush! (that’s a homage to the man responsible for coming up with the name – our own ‘Big Bird’, Simon Truelove).
We’ll put up some more info very shortly but you can expect a lush mix of taped courses, timing systems, sausages, music and prizes!
Members only though so please bring your membership cards or proof of membership….
Saturday the 14th February is a day to celebrate the one you love by spoiling them a little.
The BCC is no different, we love the allotment and so will be spending the whole day dedicating our time to pampering it, making it feel special and then giving it a right good going over the following day (well think of all those brownie points we’ll have earned!).
You’ve guessed it; its the BCC weekender – as per the usual set up it’s dig day on Saturday followed by a ride day on Sunday.
There’ll be plenty of tea and biscuits for all those that help out but do remember to bring some lunch.
Full details to follow shortly, but in the mean time the dig day will run from 10:00 – 16:00.
See you there!
(If you’re a non member and would like to help out then please come along, everyone is welcome to dig days!)

When not able to ride their mountain bikes our members still try to push the boundaries of any and all extreme sorts ….cough, cough, OK, perhaps not. looks fun, though I’m not sure that a sledge “no-hander” carries quite the same kudos as it does on a bike. Good work Tom!
OK I know that this may well be a passing fad for many people BUT having an embedded twitter feed on the front page of the website allows me to easily upload news, images and general information from practically anywhere. Although limited to 140 characters this is great and will mean that night rides, dig days, club trips etc can all be shared as they happen. So check out the feed on the front page, or if you’d like follow us see http://twitter.com/BlackCanon, username @BlackCanon.
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Just had a text from friend and club member Finlay Paton (ATB) who’s van has been broken into…
“Just had my van broken into. They’ve nicked 30 grands worth of Marin and Whyte bikes. 4 X Wolf Ridge 6.9, 3 X Mount Vision 5.8, 2 X E120’s and my personal Four cross bike and Attack Trail, both very distinctive machines. Please keep an eye out for me. Fin“
Please contact us if you have any info on these missing bikes (there’s a reward being offered for their safe return)..
