CUCC weekend trips
CUCC runs weekend mountain biking trips roughly twice per term and a touring weekend once per term. The touring weekend is open to all riders since there is both on-road and off-road riding available.
Due to the University's new health and safety policy, everyone coming on these trips has to be a club member so that our insurance is valid. In order to keep our open-doors policy on our weekend trips, anyone who is not a current student, employee of the University or an honourary CUCC member can join the club for a weekend only at a cost of 1.50pounds. Current students and employees of the University, however, must be a full member at 12 pounds per year (student) or 18 pounds per year (employee).
The dates for the 2003-2004 academic year are:

Costs and transport
Costs for club trips are 50 pounds per head. This is largely dominated by transport costs; if we have to hire cars or vans it the real cost can be more, but this is paid for by trips which we make a profit on. We are very lucky in having Chris Jones and his landrover still in town (Chris was the initiator of the MTB section of the club a few years back) and are always eager to hear of members who have cars/vans/etc.
