Another rider for #team18

We’ve established #team18 as a way for us to support riders who we think can tell a story, rather than just race results.  You can see our story on our 1st “signing” – Emma Peasland – on the news story here.

Next up, is Grant Hill.  We’ve known Grant for a long time, since before he moved to Sheffield and have got to know him even more since.  He’s never really been the super competitive type – more one to push himself for long distance rides and events.

We’d noticed somewhat of a change in Grant this summer – with social media posts suggesting scary words like planning and training.  A quick natter confirmed that we wanted him on the #team18 programme, so here we go!

Grant’s plans for 2017 are still mainly distance cross bike events, such as

  • Lakeland Monster Cross
  • Clif Cross
  • Dirt Reiver
  • Yorkshire True Grit
  • Moors and Shores
  • Peak District Pioneer
  • 3 Peaks Cyclocross?

You can follow Grant’s progress via his blog here, although we’ll aim to repost his race/ride reports where possible.

He’s on twitter over here too.
