ridefast coaching to sponsor shropshire time trial championship events

RideFast Coaching has been going for over 10 years now. I’ve coached some amazing riders in that period, including nationally ranked time trialists, UCI Grand Fondo competitors and transplant world champions. It’s even gone international, coaching riders in France, Spain and South Korea.

This Trumpian takeover of the cycling world now continues with RideFast’s first foray into sponsorship. In 2026 RideFast will be sponsoring some of the Shropshire Cycling Clubs Association Championship events, notably the 10, 25 and 100 mile time trials and the flagship 4up Team Time Trial in August. 

We’re fortunate in the county to have a network of well represented cycling clubs who get involved in events throughout the year under the SCCA umbrella. Not just racing, but with club members supporting the organisation and running of races with time keeping, catering and marshalling. After 25 years of taking full advantage, particularly of the catering, it’s an overdue privilege to be able to give a little back.

So, especially with the growing popularity of the road bike category, let’s get those winter miles in and start looking forward to some warmer and lighter days on the bike. Look out for the RideFast Coaching tagged events on the SCCA and CTT websites and I’ll have a think about some prizes.

Of course, if you're interested in being coached by the RideFast MegaCorp, get in touch here.
