I might have to have a crack and some of the track ones next year. Given the money involved! Kind of worth my while!
Most of the fast students for the previous few years have not graduated. Bradbury, bingham. Not sure who else there is whithout looking it up.

Bradbury and Bigham are both well graduated and out of it. For the pursuit there are a few fast Loughborough riders like Tom Ward etc. but there are always ringers! Lewis Oliva did the recent sprint events FFS :D
I remember coming 4th in BUSA 10 (when it was BUSA, not BUCS) back in 2007 or something and Gethin Butler won it! He stood on the podium with his son - Open University degree course I think, lol.

We used to have a good reward deal with the University of Birmingham, called Bucks for BUCS or something like that. Shame I wasn't there throughout my student career (three unis in total!) otherwise it might have helped with all the endless kit buying :D . Ended up with 1x individual gold (25 mile TT), and then a bazillion silvers and bronzes in track/TT/TTT.
Quality these days is crazy, I think I got a silver in the 10 on the H10//17r with 20:46 back in 2008, a some years later 4th with 20:36 and now if you don't do a 19 or short 20 I reckon you won't medal.
