Rapidly expanding UK club Inverse / CyClaim RT have linked with Horizon Fitness RT to help boost their women’s racing squad. Based predominantly around the London area, Inverse have over 30 members, but are looking to put together a women’s squad with at least 10 riders for 2011.
“The link-up came about over various chats between Inverse / CyClaim RT Manager Andy Saunders and myself. It’s one of the mail goals of our team to help take women’s racing in the UK forward. That’s why we put on the first women’s Tour Series race in 2010 and working with teams like this is another way we can help. We’ll be forming links with Inverse to try to help boost their numbers and provide the riders with opportunities they may not otherwise get. For example training camps/rides and rider development” said Horizon Fitness RT team manager Stefan Wyman.
“It’s very clear the UK needs more women’s racing teams, with committed riders, that are looking to participate in the countries best races, and progress as riders. With new squads coming onto the scene with women’s teams for 2011 like Inverse, the racing standards in the UK are going to be better. Hopefully it will begin a full circle and encourage even greater participation, better race promotions and a fuller racing calendar in the UK” continued Wyman.
After our success last year with the men’s team we felt the time was right to launch not just a Women’s race team but also to promote races in the UK especially for women. We currently have 6 riders in this new squad and we will be working closely with them to develop as riders, to race as a team and enjoy their racing.
We also have four race promotions in 2011 and each of these will feature a women’s only race. Our web site shows full information on these exciting new developments for the team.
Inverse / CyClaim RT are still looking for riders and anyone interested should get in touch directly with Andy Saunders [email protected]
