Summer season is (almost) here!
After an awesome 2024 it's now the challenge for us to be awesome again in 2025
Welcome!
We have a few new riders joining us for 2025. Welcome to Joseph Brown, Aidan Walters, Tim Elsmore-Martin, Mark Wood, and welcome back to Rob Wimble (who has taken a year's sabattical).
International:
We are expecting to have some international representation potentially at the 3 Nations Cup and World Cups, as well as other UCI XC events. We might also have other international events in the calendar in Masters, Marathon, and Multi-sport categories. If you’re off on international adventures do let us know - you can always rely on your teamies to be giving positive vibes from a distance, and it’s great for the socials. This applies even if you’re guesting or riding in another jersey for the event. If you need support at all do speak up - Grity Race Team will try to help where we can.
National:
NPS, National Champs, National Marathon are all target events and we have some jerseys to defend! Time will tell what the impact of the new schedule will be. We will be setting these races up on the RACENOTES link so we can coordinate who is racing, supporting, and available in the pits. As always shout out if you need a hand and we will be there. GrityHQ is the place to be over the weekends and we even have new branded chairs waiting for your tired bodies 🤩.
The GrityPit is there for you to help with and be helped by at the National Races. We will need people to help at the start and finish, in the pits, and provide motivation, support, (and treats). We have a fantastic set of pit helpers - thanks!
Regional:
Let us know where you’re racing and give a shout out if you happen to see our teamies at events. Whether it is FNSS to Focus, Scotland to Wales, give it your all. Wear the kit with pride and let us know how you get on.
GRT² (Grity Race Team - Gravel Road and Triathlon 😁)
Again - we love hearing about your racing across other discipines and all your other adventures. Good luck if you’re trying to upgrade your Road Race Cat 🐈. Part of the ethos of Grity is to make every day an adventure whether it's Croydon, Cannock, Calpe or the Cairngorms. Share and keep us in the loop. It always brightens our days to hear what you’re up to. If you want some riding buddies put it out there and you never know who might join… send photos!
Whatever you’re up to shout about it - don’t wait for us to ask! Remember to tag the team in your posts! We can’t wait to see you soon 😃
Grity Sustainable Sports Apparel:
Here at HQ it’s been a quiet few weeks in terms of events but mega busy with kit development for the summer. We will be at most NPS races and several big sportives in Scotland and Devon.
The new kit order is being manufactured and we hope to have it in time for Cannock. We have extended our partnership with Ekoi for 2025. Details will come soon for helmet / eyewear packages.
- We race with grit, we train hard, we have fun, podiums are nice
