New club kit supplier added

Following a unanimous vote at our club night at the French Horn on Thursday 28 March, we have added a new kit supplier, Bioracer. With a full range of kit from jerseys, jackets and shorts to accessories and race suits, Bioracer has a strong pedigree in supplying pro and national teams as well as many cycling clubs around the world. Owning their own European factories gives them an edge in being able to supply kit to us at a competitive price with a minimum order quantity of only 1 item. We will open 3 or 4 “order windows” per year to batch orders into meaningful quantities. Orders typically take 6 to 8 weeks to produce and are despatched to a central contact in the club for collection by members.

Our full club kit range can be seen here, (you will need to register for […]
