FRIENDS_
TEAM JMC IS A SPORTING CLUB FORMED OVER 10 YEARS AGO BY A GROUP OF MATES LOOKING FOR A CLUB THAT PUTS ENJOYMENT FIRST. WE ARE ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN, COMPETING, SUPPORTING EACH OTHER AND PUSHING OURSELVES THAT LITTLE BIT HARDER. WE ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL OF ABILITY. TALENT OPTIONAL – ENTHUSIASM ESSENTIAL. GREAT RESULTS ARE ALWAYS PLEASING BUT TAKING PART, GIVING IT A REAL GO AND FINISHING WITH A SMILE ON OUR FACES, PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT TO US.

TRANSITION COACHING / TEAM JMC WINNER OF PIVOT TWENTYFOUR12 – 24HR SOLO RACE 2018
HAVING BEEN A KEEN MOUNTAIN BIKER FOR A LONG TIME NOW MY MAIN PASSION WITH CYCLING IS 24HR ENDURANCE RACING. WITH THAT COMES TRAINING AND THAT IS DONE UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF LEE EATON AT TRANSITION CYCLE COACHING. BEING A PART OF TEAM JMC I HAVE MET SOME TRUE FRIENDS FOR LIFE ONE OF THESE BEING THE MAN HIMSELF RICHIE SCOTT OF STEELY-EYED CLOTHING. MYSELF AND RICHIE HAVE DONE SOME ENCOURAGING NIGHT STINTS AT SOME TOUGH 24HR EVENTS WITH THE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF LISA THROWING JELLY BABIES AT US TO KEEP US ON TOP FORM. SOME OF MY OTHER RACE ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE BEEN 2ND – KIELDER CHILLER SOLO 24HR 2017 – 11TH - RELENTLESS SOLO 24HR 2017 – 5TH MALE PAIRS STRATHPUFFER 2018 AND NUMEROUS XC RACES WHERE I HAVE GAINED A FEW 1STS AND 2NDS.
IT'S A REAL HONOUR TO BE A FRIEND OF STEELY-EYED CLOTHING, THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT.
