90 percent of junior national championship riders started at Go-Ride clubs

95 percent of the female riders and 91 percent of male riders at the recent National Youth and Junior Track Championships started to race at Go-Ride clubs. Go-Ride is British Cycling’s youth programme and is delivered via 300 cycling clubs around the country.

Giving particularly impressive performances during the week were Lichfield City CC’s Sophie Capewell and I-Team’s Joseph Truman. Capewell took all three titles from her three events (keirin, junior sprint and 500-metre time trial), while Truman joined her in gaining a sprint hat-trick with wins in the kilometre time trial, keirin and sprint.

Over 60 percent of the current Great Britain Cycling Team is made up of Go-Ride graduates.

The Go-Ride programme is supported by the Bike Hub fund. The Bike Hub fund is a voluntary levy scheme, which engages Bicycle Association members and independent bike dealers across the country in making a contribution to a national fund to safeguard the future of cycling.
