The Cycling Academy

01/01/2025

2024 was the last season for The Cycling Academy [for the foreseeable future] . Our deal with Arnold Clark came to an end and the 1500 hours a year of team manager duties became hard to mix with actual work.
Four brilliant seasons on the tarmac, mud and wood delivered loads of Scottish Champs, Scotland's first British Junior Road Champ and some nice podiums in the UK and Europe. We also nudged some riders down the line of pro careers, enjoyed some proper digging in, and benefited from an amazing group staff and volunteers.
Spending time with young folks striving in the worlds hardest sport is an incredible privilege and unbeatable experience. Junior Men's Road racing is progressing fast with more investment and professionalism every year.

For our final UCI race we were one of the few teams without support from the world tour, but we brought home flowers and metal work.

Thanks and Mark Young and everyone, who drove, fixed, cooked and supported.

I hope to be back in bike racing some day. In the meantime keep pedalling!
