We’re taking a trip down memory lane and looking at some of our racing heritage from Hargroves Cycles 40+ years!

Amy Perryman @amyperryman_ and Helen Pattinson @chocolatehelly had great success with our Women’s CX team over the years with Helen becoming a vets world champion.

Meet Ribble Collective Rider Tom Couzens.

Tom has amassed an impressive tally of race results across various cycling disciplines. He will be looking to replicate these notable successes in the UK’s premier races such as the Lancaster, Sheffield, and Ryedale Grand Prix’s.

A little more about the season ahead!

Brilliant to see a Cyclo-cross story on BBC sport pages and how British women were instrumental in starting women’s racing. Cyclo-cross World Championships: How a small band of women broke new ground in a new millennium https://t.co/grsFDcID4v

@KittyJohne @PitchSidePhoto The focus!

[Solent Pirates @SolentPirates]

@othello @Cyclocrosss @Vtxoperena It’s potentially a really good development!

[Solent Pirates @SolentPirates]

This weekend is the culmination of a great CX season with the National Champs. Five Pirates across all youth categories will be tackling the tricky and wet course @cx_westmorland … have fun and send pictures. It’s going to be a classic!

@amyperryman_ @Cyclopark @MontezumaRace @hargrovescycles @EllmoreClothing @lazersport @UKmadison That’s an idea for a new Pirates CX session… one shoe drills and pit changes!
