Team Milton Keynes Road Racing

Team Milton Keynes is an active road racing club competing at both a local and national level.

2005 Achievements

The high points on the road in 2005 have been Adam Illingworth's Bronze medal in the National Espoirs (U23) Championship and Roy Chamberlain's 9th place in the National Championships. Adam came through our youth development squad, Team Keyne, and is now riding for the the top French team US Montauban with Dave Rayner fund backing and in August took the prestigious Grand Prix de Puy Lévêque. Roy has had a great year with consistent top ten placings in Premier Calendar events and giving us a home win in our own event back in April.

Team MK also had an outstanding team result in the Tour Of Malta with Team MK riders on the podium on each stage and ensuring that Roy took the overall as well.

Events

The local mid week racing scene in Milton Keynes ensures that there is racing for all age groups throughout the Summer.

Team MK promotes a number of road races throughout the year which in 2005 included an early season series of handicap races at Milton Keynes Bowl, the Spring Road Races for E/1/2 and 3/4/W/J riders and a women's road race in the Summer as part of the Team Series.

Training

The Saturday morning cafe runs leave from outside the 'Passage To India' restaurant on Stony Stratford High Street at 9:30 throughout the year. These are usually about 40 miles with a cafe stop on the way home and usually split into 2 or 3 ability groups.

The Sunday training rides run from September through to March. These are relatively steady before Christmas with the pace hotting up in January prior to the start of the racing season in March.
