Racing

ERC road racing team

ERC has a structured approach to developing riders who are keen to race. Any ERC member can join the development squad, take part in training sessions to improve all aspects of bike riding, and join the ERC facebook racing forum. Development riders can progress to the team pool by demonstrating commitment and continuous improvement in measured tests, once in the team pool the riders look to get picked to represent ERC in a race team to race at the highest level with dedicated financial and coaching support. The race teams are fully committed to getting results in National events across Scotland and England, and with the support of one of the biggest clubs in the UK it offers a direct route from keen novice to national level athlete.
