The team is launched.

On Saturday 16th February, in Hainault, Essex, the PCA-Ciclos Uno-Isaac Racing Team was officially launched. 

The whole team were present, along with Ciclos Uno supremo Trevor Maddern and Ciclos Uno manager and team mechanic Ewan Hendon. It was a bright and frosty morning, (a bit cold for hanging around in lycra if truth be told!) but thankfully photographer Mike Marsland was a true professional and rattled off all of the photos quickly and efficiently.

The serious business over with, Trevor suggested having some fun with the Squeezy shark logo and there was only one man for the job.....step forward Dan Kogan! It was hilarious, as he was photographed having his bum and his arm bitten off. Only Dan could pull those faces and he did a great job making the pictures funny and making us all laugh. With the photos done, the team retired to the warm and Mrs Maddern's tea, coffee and hot chocolate.....thanks Janet!

Once suitably refreshed, the team made the most of their day together and went for a team ride. With only a couple of weeks before the start of their season at the Wally Gimber, the team chatted and had a few laughs as they rode, continuing the process of getting to know each other in the sunny Essex countryside, before the hard work starts in March.

We would like to thank all of our sponsors for all of their help throughout the 2008 season, these companies are the finest in their fields and we are very lucky to have secured their support. Without their help it would be impossible for us to be out there racing week after week so thank you to: Plowman Craven, Ciclos Uno, Isaac Bicycles and Squeezy sports nutrition. We must also thank Jim Walker for the Limar helmets and Northwave shoes, Ken Jones at Onimpex for the Bioracer products and Oakley UK for the sunglasses.
