Champion Systems/Maxgear/Kyklos team launch

Congratulations to the Maxgear riders racing in the Revolution Series - Jake Ragan took the future stars title with some of the best team work displayed of the evening and Champion Systems/Maxgear/Kyklos won overall for the second year running! It was some exciting racing - especially the Derny Race which I had never seen before, won in spectacular fashion by Simon Yates(Maxgear) who had also won the National Madison Championships earlier in the day!

Some good news for myself also - got a few podiums at the track league including a win, although that means I get moved to a faster group now...

The team launch last weekend was also a great success despite very cold and snowy conditions - some fantastic shots were taken by John Picton and we all got to meet the lovely sponsors from Moore & Large/Todays Cyclist and Veroli Limited (Kyklos/Edco distributors). It was an early start to get from Manchester to Northumberland. We were up at 4.30am! When we got there it was cold, but sunny and Matfen Hall looked beautiful. The new team van and all the new Kyklos bikes were there along with members from all the teams.

It was really great to meet the guys from the senior and junior teams and the weekend turned out to be loads of fun. Each team did a little presentation on their goals for the year before the ride out with shots. Just as we got on the bikes it started to snow. Still, being the tough northerners we are, we carried on. It was a little sketchy in places, but everyone managed to stay upright. Unfortunatley the weather was too bad to ride on the Sunday.



Overall it was a fun weekend some great shots were taken (see John Pictons facebook page) and everyone had a great time. It is great to be part of a team where everyone has a passion for cycling and really enjoys what they do! Roll on the next team weekend!!!
