teamwallis-CHH Cycling Team

After a very successful training camp in Calpe, Spain, teamwallis-CHH are looking forward (weather permitting) to the first road race of the season, at the Clayton Velo Spring Classic on Sunday 28th February, as well as watching out for Luke and Julian gaining some experience the day before against the country's top track riders in the National Madison Championships (start sheet here).

teamwallis-CHH is proud to officially confirm that our 2010 tyre sponsor is Continental.
We will be riding their Grand Prix tyres, with the Black Chili compound, which gives greater grip with lower rolling resistance. Find out more at the Continental web-site.

teamwallis-CHH was set up as a youth development squad to bring on new riders and help them on to the next rung of the professional cycling ladder.

As an example of this, we are very pleased to wish Ella Sadler-Andrews every success in racing on the continent in 2010 for her new team, Horizon-Fitness Racing. Read more ...

We had a great two days' mountain biking last weekend, including the Grizedale North Face trail and Garburn Pass.

Unfortunately, there were also a few casualties, including Martin's face! Our sponsor, Scott, can expect a few orders for full-face MTB helmets!

Thanks to Wes Butters at Real Radio 105.4fm who has done two follow-ups on his radio show to the bike which Wallis Cycles donated recently:

Out of over 500 teams in the UK scoring National Points this year, we are very proud to announce that, in our first season, teamwallis-CHH are ranked by British Cycling as 22nd team in the whole country. Our riders have scored a massive total of 1300 points in National events.

This is as well as being the top team in the North West regional rankings.

Well done everyone! Read more ...

This week I found out that I was selected to ride for Great Britain in the European championships at Hoogstraten, Belgium. The team is made up of four juiniors and two women. We travel to the race on the 30th October and race on the 1st November. I hope to get into the top 10 after last years experience at World Cups and the World Championships. The run up to the event is going well after a hard training block this week. I'm now concentrating my effort on the National Trophy next week in Ipswich and the week running into the Euros.
