All I can say is as advise as in all my previous post on this subject...
Club Events: enter as a Swan Whrs... i.e.. NBRC, A5 Rangers etc
National Events: enter via an associated Club... i.e. NBRC, Bossard etcAny rider taking part in any event will not tarnish any club in fact they will be far greater pleased to see any one entering and having a go, as that's what its all about.
To put it in to perspective club's are a vehicle to get out there, to give it a go and improve over time - to put it basically All About You.. and I think knowing you now as I do you'd not have a problem mate..
The training promised will happen after Majorca to get you in the swing off it if you still fancy it?
My first TT (done on my now winter Trek) was a national event but you may wish to start at club level? -
Further to the many post above on this subject as a reminder for you to do any national TT's in the name of the Swans the club will need to affiliated to the CTT, that for us is expensive.
So you will need to ride with a club as a 2nd claim rider that is affiliated as I do, on behave of the Bossard Club I can confirm that will cost you £10:00 for the year. Kit wise you could beg, borrow or steal a Bossard top or even purchase one from our stock, or you need to ride in a plain kit, a skin-suit the way forward though...
I hope that this help getting you a little closer to riding them..

Thought this up-date might interest the Off-Roaders amongst us...
Woburn Bike Trails is proud to confirm that the Longslade Trail route design is now almost complete and has been signed off so all we have to do is to finish the groundworks (all we have to do!).
Next actions by Woburn Bike Trails Volunteers and the Greensand Trust are to:
• complete the installation of the entrance and exit posts/gate and control gates for the whole route
• finish marking out the last couple of sections and open them for use
• complete and publish the route mapOur biggest ongoing challenge however is coping with the unending maintenance/trail improvements especially with the wet weather and as those of you who regularly ride in the woods know only too well, some sections are very soft/wet and require immediate attention.
What we need is your help. There’s at least one dig/maintenance day per month that you can join in with and our core volunteers are often out most weekends and so there will be other opportunities to join in.
So if you are interested in helping out visit and ask to join our Facebook trail maintenance group https://www.facebook.com/groups/296051110585510/You know you want to help don’t you. Thanks in advance.

Hi James, yes the F15 is popular as I counted a dozen or so events on it this year, but there is a threat that it may close at some point, traffic lights for new housing development, so will have to wait and see? As to entering, on the list you'll see a red kite (comment) on the course identifier cells, hover over to see some details including the entry close date so plenty of time. As to who gets to ride for this one (Jun 26) it'll be up to me to sort as the organiser and norland members of which you are one will get preference anyway,so don't worry.
Most events are entered by internet these days so easier, create an account and of you go. From the CTT site, choose the event you wish to enter and follow the link through, you'll have fill some data about past times data etc, that's if you've got any, it saves it for next time too now, credit card and your done... the organiser will send out the start sheet week before, you just turn up to the designated hall on the day sign in, number on, of to the start and go!
Remember that NBRC also use this course on some Wed night's. For this it's turn up, sign in, pay, number on for to the start and go!
Simple ah, if only...... -

The route to this excellent “Cycling Mecca” can take many forms, from as little as 25 mls to get there, have managed once at 50 plus one beautiful summers morning, you can also take in the Brill lumps if you like to add to the variants. So Swan's you need to plan a head (much ground baiting!) to stay out a bit later as its going to be plus 50 miler, so 1 pm earliest to get back to Buckingham.
Why Mecca I hear you say on a good day it can become very busy with casual cyclists plus clubs like the Bossards, Thame, Wycombe, Mid-Oxon, Bicester, Reading to name a few. Plenty of in-side seating, excellent choice of cakes, teas & coffees etc. and the gardens on a sunny day are a good resting place, both sides..Website: http://www.waterperrygardens.co.uk/

If you struggle finding the rule on this subject, took me a while! its...
11) Although mud guards will not be obligatory on club rides, during the wetter months, consideration for your fellow riders (and the owners of the café stops) would be appreciated. Any rider without mudguards will be requested by the ride leader to ride at the rear of the group.
