Orkney Island Games Cycling Team Announcement
Cycling Team leader and Guernsey Velo Club president Gary Wallbridge has announced that 14 riders have been selected to represent Guernsey in cycling at the Orkney Island Games in July.
"I am thrilled to say that the team will consist of four riders in the ladies road team and five riders in each of the mens mountain bike and road teams. The team is a mixture of experienced riders who have competed at the Island Games before, some exciting up and coming young riders, debutantes who were inspired by watching the Guernsey 2023 Island Games and some fantastic ladies that are competing in the triathlon in Orkney too."
The cycling events span five days in Orkney, beginning with the road time trial on Monday. Racing continues through the week with the mountain bike criterium on Tuesday, road race on Wednesday, mountain bike cross country on Thursday and finally the road criterium on Friday. Both individual and team medals will be up for grabs in all 5 events.
Gary said; "During November 2024 the provisional team size was down to 6 riders. Since then, so many riders have shown great enthusiasm and we are delighted that the team has grown to 14. The riders are preparing well and we are really excited for July. We can’t wait to see what the team can do!"
