Rooted in the heart of Otley, we’re incredibly proud of our local cycling heritage and the strong community that supports it. Alongside other local businesses, we are proud sponsors of the Otley Cycle Club Youth and Junior Road Race Team, helping to nurture the next generation of riders.The team is firmly embedded in the domestic racing scene, with riders progressing to compete at both national and international level.
We’re passionate about supporting young talent as they develop their skills, confidence, and love for the sport.
We’ve already seen riders go on to achieve great things, including former team member Robyn Clay, and we’re excited to continue building for the future.
If you see our riders out training on the local roads, be sure to give them a wave or a cheer it means more than you might think.
