2003 Saw the launch of the Aire Valley Racing Team, An idea
arising from Bernie Burns an outstanding and well known ex
professional cyclist as well as the owner of Aire Valley
Cycles , based in Keighley West Yorkshire. After
conversations with long standing friends and cyclist it was
decided that cycling in the Keighley area was in need of a
new lease of life. And so from this the Aire Valley Racing
Team was born. A perfect opportunity for Bernie to put a
little bit back in to the sport that has given him so much.
With Bernie's many years experience as a professional
cyclist as well as a cycle retailer the Aire Valley Racing
Team have only gained from his wealth of knowledge and
experiences, and with the new colours of the Aire Valley
Racing Team on the roads of the Yorkshire, hopefully it
will raise the profile of cycling around the Keighley and
surrounding areas. The team is not only for road racers
either, all ready we have a cyclo cross team as well as
mountain bike team, including down hilling. And not
forgetting leisure riders and keep fitters as well, we even
have a women's tri athlete, riding in our colours, all are
welcome.
If you are interested in joining a winning team call in to
the shop for a membership application form or simply
download it from the top left of this page, we are always
looking for more riders to join with us. The more we can
raise the profile of the sport in the surrounding area the
better for all of us. Don't be shy, we want riders of all
abilities in our ranks, we are not an elitist club like so
many clubs in England have become. You will receive
knowledge & advice free of charge from friendly and
welcoming fellow cyclists.
