2-week TenerifeVelo training camp in association with trainSharp to kick off a new race season for our sponsored rider @ConnorBackhouse. From novice when we started to Cat 2: that's #VolcanoPower right there. Good luck for 2023 Connor! #winter #bike #training #cycling #Tenerife

Massive congratulations Connor. As a Cat 3, you finished ahead of a whole field stacked with Cat 2’s. Great progress this summer πŸ‘πŸ‘
So finished 23rd in GC and 5th team! Very pleased, tough 3-stage @TourOfSussex but loved it. Thanks to the organisers and my teammates Harry (who finished second); Mark and Luke and my sponsor @TenerifeVelo

If you've got nothing on tomorrow afternoon then we've got a suggestion @kingstonwheeler are running their Open Season and will be keeping things interesting with Mystery Race amongst the usual scratches, points and devils Fun for all the family! l8r.it/J2D2
