          “We have to go up that?!”   I was beginning to lose my cheery optimism about this holiday. Having kept the steep and rugged driveway to the villa a secret from many of the other cyclists I had rounded up for our February getaway, I was now paying for it with a torrent of abuse… Read more →

Sunday was to be the first event of the yearly varsity between Heriot Watt and Edinburgh and the cycling clubs were kicking it off. The course was the steep climb around Queen’s Drive and with the fastest rider coming home in 4.49 it was a slog for the riders. EUCC had high hopes of repeating the previous year’s victory and… Read more →

Malaga evokes images of sun-drenched lad’s holidays and cheap nightclubs. It might not be the first place you think of when asked about the perfect winter cycling holiday, but it has sunshine, mountains and cheap beer. What more could you ask for? So a group of us booked a villa, packed our bikes and headed south during the university’s Innovative Riding… Read more →

When Adam first proposed the idea of taking our mountain bikes to Iceland, I knew it was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed.

With the bikes all loaded in the van and their riders contorted and squished into the cars it was time for EUCC to head up north to tackle some of Scotland’s finest riding. The plans for the trip were primarily trail centre based, with the intention of riding Fort William on the Saturday and then traveling across to Laggan and… Read more →

It was with great sorrow that we arrived at the CSE car park at 8.00 in the morning, and it was with even greater sorrow that we were forced to acknowledge the ferocious weather; winds and biting rain. Having arrived at Innerleithen (where there was still ferocious winds and biting rain) we decided that we would head up the hill… Read more →

As the exam period lurks in the shadows waiting to strangle every ounce of social life and cycling life that we have left at this time of year, EUCC set out to the Dudes of Hazzard Enduro in Kinlochleven as a ‘last hoorah’ before hanging up the race plates for the year. A band of ten brothers made the trek… Read more →

Eleven of EUCC met at the CSE to begin the journey down south to the Lakes to sample some very natural riding, of which the lakes has no shortage and also some of the best trail centers that end of town has on offer. With the vans loving the country roads (Drivers not so much) it wasn’t long before we… Read more →
