Sponsors and Team riders along with friends and family gathered at the lovely Chavenage House nestled in the beautiful Cotswolds near to Tetbury. The Historic Cotswold House was once a hideout for Oliver Cromwell and is reputed to be haunted.

The new venture by the shop owner Dave Evans and rider and team manager Grant Bayton heralds a dawn of a long term project where they can bring through the youth riders which in Grants words are “Creating a Pathway to the futureâ€. The team looked resplendent in their new kit from Santini along with new bikes supplied for Wilier they will be seen heading the field at races this and the next couple of seasons to come.
The team have a fine selection of sponsors on board who also share in the vision of the team and its riders. The team has a good balance of nine senior riders and nine youth riders but together they have the one goal and that is to win!
