Then why not join the JMJ Cycles Race Team.

About us:

Anyone can join the team. Whatever your fitness level you will be welcome to join us. Wether you want to race your bike or just join the team to ride your bike with other like minded people; then the JMJ Cycles team may just be the right place for you. We aren’t a clique or a cycle team for top elite racers, we are a bunch of friends who like to ride their bikes fast !

Team Kit:

The kit reflects the shops colours and we reckon it’s the coolest cycle kit out there on the Souths roads. Your new JMJ Cycle kit -  it’s bold, it’s cool, it’s a statement – Be part of the Pink and Blue army !! ….  We keep the JMJ Cycle team kit in store at the shop in Woolston. You can also buy the kit online at our website. If we don’t have in stock you can also buy our kit directly from the manufacturers  ……………. 


Training rides:

We will be organising regular training rides throughout the year. Evenings and weekends. We will be joining other group rides as well as organising our own training rides. Most training rides will be leaving from the shop in Woolston. For those who are just gaining fitness and worried they won’t keep up, don’t worry the routes will be explained beforehand.

Racing:

The JMJ Cycles race team are affiliated the British Cycling. Members who would like to race can join BC and race with us. We have team members at most levels/categories in British Cyclings rankings.

"I have been racing since 1994 (18 years) and have won a number of local, regional and national level races and championships and have spent 2 seasons racing full time / pro in France.
During my time in France I raced for Team Europe. The manager was an agent for the Bbox Telecom Team and Cofidis Team amongst other World Tour teams and he'd had set up his own full time / pro team to develop talent. I was one of the teams sprinters on the flat races and Domestique on other races setting up victories for the team. I lived in Craon near Laval in North West France with 3 other team mates in our one of the teams apartments. The team was a real mix of nationalities, Polish, Romanian, Estonian, Latvian, Moldovan, Hungarian and British and we raced a mixture of races including some top French races that went out on TV.
I am really excited to be joining the JMJ Cycles Team, it's a brilliant venture. I have known and ridden with Dave Harding for a number of years and his plan and enthusiasm for the team and the sport is infectious. I am looking forward to racing on Forme Bikes, they look great and early reports sound very promising. Lake shoes and Limar Helmets have a brilliant reputation so I look forward to putting them through their paces.
Personally I am looking forward to building on my race 2 wins from 2012, helping out my team mates and spreading the JMJ Cycles word"

"I was a member of a succesful cycle club 'DHC-Colnago' for approx 10 years. The DHC race team led and were British Cyclings regional southern area winning Road Racing Team for three consecutive years; 2007,2008 and 2009. The shop (and cycle club) unfortunately closed its doors for the last time in 2010. I now ride my bike for pleasure and race (making up the numbers!). This year I am racing for JMJ Cycles. Pink and Blue is the new Blue and White ! .......
Like Andrew I am so looking forward to this new adventure and giving 100% effort for the team. We will be riding Forme Bikes for 2013. Nikki has chosen the 'Longcliffe 2.0' as our weapon of choice. I cannot praise Forme bikes enough, although mid range the Longcliffe 2.0 punches way above its weight and I'm sure will carry our riders to many wins in the coming season. Andy and Mike will be riding with Shimano equipment and myself with Campagnolo. Check out the Forme bike range here - www.formebikes.co.uk"

Mike has been out of competition for a fair few years and is looking to start racing again in 2013. Mike will be racing at BC 4th cat level for starters but is looking to gain his 3rd cat license quickly. Mike is looking to continue racing throughout the season to gain a good level of fitness and gain a 3rd cat license. Mike will then be ready for his real passion which is cyclo cross and looking forward to next years cyclo cross season. Mike is and was a keen off-road enthusiast and I think happiest off road. He is looking to the road racing as a way to gain fitness fast.
Mike is looking forward to racing again and being part of the team here at JMJ Cycles.
