New jerseys have arrived just in time for the start of the new race season, a slight change with the navy fade and a change of name for our principal sponsor.
After going round the stands at Ardrock in the summer and needing a new kit supplier, we took the easy decision to go to @fortanactivewear as their range is extensive and all really high quality, team manager Steve popped over to their location whilst in Scotland to collect the order and even got some wear out of his jersey for the last day of @britarmycycling epic ride 2026 and couldn’t be happier with how they feel.
Huge thanks to Andrew and the team for their help in getting these sorted for us, we will be back for more kit I am sure!
