Support the people that support our sport

We work with brands that want to support women's cycling and understand the task that still lays ahead to continue to push for equality and recognition. I'd like to thank all our sponsors for their continued support. This project really would not have been possible without your help.
Will you be our Title Sponsor for 2023
For 2023 we are looking for a new title sponsor to help us support riders to race in Europe at the Youth European Mountain Bike Championships, Coupe de France and 3 Nations Cup. Mountain biking is growing in popularity and has one of the highest concentrations of participants with degree-level education.
Benefits to supporting womens mountain biking:
- Promotion of team across your brand assets - wedsite, social media, events, collateral
- Branded race team kit featuring your name, logo and brand colours
- Demonstrate brand diversity and inclusion to employees and clients
- Team of brand ambassadors with direct social influence to thousands of similar people that can benefit your brand
- Exposure at national and international events to a highly targetted audience
- Opportunities to promote and inspire a healthy lifestyle to employees
Riders and their families spend a lot of money to race. Taking part in the National XC Series costs over £5,000 per rider in terms of food, travel, accommodation, entry fees and bike maintenance. One rider will get through several sets of tyres, skinsuits, brake pads, chains, cables, bearings and wheels in a season. Entry fees are between £20 and £50 per race. Travel to races is usually over 100 miles each way and frequently a race weekend will be over 600 miles round trip.
The other unseen costs include consistent coaching, training and race nutrition. We believe coaching is a lifetime requirement. Consistent coaching provides a massive boost to competitiveness and riders ability to progress through the ranks and maintain interest in the sport. Access to good training locations can be free in some areas but in many this will cost over £20 a day.
We aren't looking for handouts or covering the cost of everything, we are looking for an active partnership with a trusted brand that fits the demographic of our riders and their wider interests, who can contribute to supporting riders, reducing the financial burden. Brands involved in these areas would be a good fit:
- Fashion
- Nutrition
- Entertainment eg gaming
- Education
- Travel and accommodation

We started talking to Richard Lang and Spok'd at the start of 2019 and gave feedback on their coaching app that provides personalised training plans. The team has been giving input and feedback on the new MTB plan that launched this year. The team have found a great benefit in being able to rely on a system that supports their growth and protects their bodies.
The app is basically a coach in your pocket. Checking to see how well you performed this week, to then set your plan for the next. But it also takes into account your sleep and general energy levels.
One of the biggest issues for young athletes is the potential for burn-out. Spok'd helps our riders manage the demands of training and racing with the day-to-day stress of life, school and work. Together with their philosophy that takes into consideration the whole athlete life, the Spok'd is helping to manage the continual and grandual development of our riders.
