2025 Adopt a rider - support program
Always Rider first
Getting out and racing seems simple but its not , there is huge anxiety in turning up to a busy race day , not knowing anyone and being surrounded by teams and riders all set up in their groups , it can be lonely and leaves riders questioning why they are there.
so for 2025 we are trying to change that !
We will put up a list of races that we will be attending with team support and opening up the team for 2 riders at each race who need support , this might be a group they can warm up with before the race and ask questions , making sure they are ready to race with fitting numbers and and transponders to bikes , someone to take there jacket at the start , nutrition in the feed zone and team car support.
This is open to anyone who may need it so look out for the list coming in the new year alongside our Women's only skills sessions.
Who We are
The racing team is made up of mothers, engineers, physiotherapists, PhD candidates, and much more. What unites them, is their ability to juggle their day-to-day responsibilities with the extraordinary feat of competing in bike racing at the very highest levels of the UK scene and beyond.
Although predominantly a road racing team, riders are encouraged to pursue a multi-disciplinary approach if this suits them better. As such, we also see representation across MTB, CX, Gravel, and TT.
Our job as FTP, is simple. It is to facilitate that in whatever way we can.
