Joining a race team

A big thank you to all of the past and present coaches at CCA for their superb coaching and support. I have agreed to move to Cycle Team OnForm for the 2018 season but will remain a second claim CCA member if thats OK. I am really excited for this next year as I move into my final year as a youth rider. I would not have got this far without CCA - winning the national champions jersey this year was really the icing on the cake, and I am sure starting out on the grass track made me a stronger and more confident rider to achieve this. Thank you for all of your coaching and support over the last 6 years. I'll still be around, hopefully doing the chain gangs in the summer and hopefully joining in with a ride or two.

  • Congratulations Sophie. You are a loyal and respected member of the club and your achievements are significant. It is quite natural that you should wish to develop in your sport in a more professional environment. Please forgive us for continuing to feel some 'CAA pride' as you develop with Cycle Team OnForm.
    Of course you will always be welcomed at CCA events.
    Good luck with your new team.

  • Congratulations Sophie, that’s amazing! I’m glad that CCA helped you develop this far, it just shows what a club can do to help a talented and committed rider like yourself. You’ll be great at OnForm, it’s the next obvious step for you. I can only echo Daniel’s sentiments.
