Five years ago Pendragon Sports set out on a mission to develop cycling and increase sport participation in the South West – A major aspect of our plan has been to build a professional cycling team drawn from the best talent from the region that could act as a focal point for the sport and generate substantial media exposure. The team is at the apex of a cycling development pathway, providing the most gifted riders the opportunity to compete at the highest level, both domestically and internationally.

The pathway was developed through consultation with British Cycling and leading clubs from the region, including One and All (Cornwall), JJ Sports (Devon), Team Tor 2000 (Somerset) and Gillingham Wheelers (Dorset). The pathway, for the first time, provides individuals the opportunity to progress from Go ride induction sessions in schools on to Go Ride Clubs, the British Cycling talent development squad and then onto our team and beyond.
