Cyclo-cross Race Team

Introducing the Cycle Services cyclo-cross race team, supported by RIAK Fitness coaching.

Cycle Services has over 25-years of experience in the cycling industry and provides a hub for performance bikes, expert custom builds, and specialist workshop care. 

Our race team will begin its inaugural season in September 2026, primarily focusing on the Central Cyclo-cross League and National Trophy Series but will also support riders venturing into other cyclo-cross events.

 

Welcoming new riders!

We are looking to add riders to our roster for the 26/27 season starting in September 2026.

Whilst we do have ambitions for the team, we are not just looking for ‘hitters’. Our goal is simply to create a team of riders who are cyclo-cross obsessed and would like to improve their performance and skills. 

So even if you have never raced cyclo-cross before but would like to begin doing so, you would be very welcome! 

This collaboration between Cycle Services and RIAK Fitness coaching will provide team members of all levels with a fantastic and unique level of support. All we ask for in return is for a small race commitment and that all team members contribute to fostering an enthusiastic and supportive atmosphere within the team. No egos here!

New riders do not need to be exclusive to the Cycle Services team outside of the CX season. So, if you race with a club or team during the road season, that is no issue with us.

What support would you receive as a team member?

One of the great aspects of this being a new project is that the slate is pretty blank and as we build towards the 26/27 season the team and the level of support can evolve.

However, here are the basics of what this collaboration between Cycle Services and RIAK Fitness will provide riders:

  • A team training plan running from August 2026 up to and through the cyclocross season.
  • Heavy discounts on RIAK coaching relationships and personalised training plans.
  • Periodic team training rides – on the road during Spring/Summer, CX specific sessions in the build up to the start season.
  • Mechanic advice on bike set up and tyres etc.
  • Race support at key races
  • Team WhatsApp group, so we can talk tyres, pressures and fully geek out without judgment!

What commitment would I need to make to join the team?

Particularly for our first season, the commitment required to join the team and benefit from the above support would be pretty relaxed.

All we would ask is:

  1. you race in the team’s colours;
  2. commit to at least 3 CCXL races over the course of the 26/27 season; and
  3. you contribute to the supportive nature of the team, offering advice to less experienced members and helping others within the team.
