THE MTB GUISBOROUGH RACE TEAM AIMS TO REPRESENT THE LOCAL AREA - AND WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS
IS IT FOR ME?
The team aims to be as open and inclusive as possible, with an ethos that revolves around achieving your personal goals - no matter how lofty or modest they are - and above all a focus on enjoyment rather than results. We welcome anyone who wants to get involved, from seasoned competitors to those looking to take their first steps into the competitive side of the sport.
WHAT WILL THE RACE TEAM OFFER?
We have a very informal structure and there's no ‘team manager’ calling the shots. The simple aim is bring together riders who enjoy racing bikes:
- To share knowledge of racing and training – we’ve got a number of experienced riders already on board who’ve been there and done it before so hopefully they can help those less experienced riders avoid the (many!) mistakes they’ve made in the past.
- To share transport and support at events
- To bring people together for occasional social events – they’ll also be a dedicated racing page on the MTBG forum
- To organise training rides and coaching sessions
PLANS
Our primary focus is likely to be XC and endurance and enduro events – purely because that’s what our current riders are into. If you’re a downhiller then get in touch as we’re open to all aspects of the sport.
On the XC front we’ll have riders competing in both regional events such as the Nutcracker series, and on a national level and international stage in the British XC series and World 24hr Championships. We’ll also be aiming to field riders and teams in a number of endurance events such as the Whinlatter Challenge, the NoFuss 10hr and CRC Marathons series’. It’s hoped we’ll end up with enough riders to field multiple teams in certain events – ranging from ‘out to win it’ to ‘out for a good ride and a few beers afterwards’.
