It's been a while! Well... a while in North West Cyclo Cross terms at least.While some would argue that bikes have been far from pristine at the end of the previous 13 rounds of the North West league, the traditionalists would say it's taken till round 14 for proper "Cross" conditions! With t...

We haven't even reached the end of November yet but realistically the North West Cyclo Cross league is drawing to a close. As another weekend of racing passes by, only three rounds, spread across the best part of two months, remain! The re-arranged round in Bolton that was supposed to be the league ...

Stadt Moers Country Park, Whiston was the setting for the latest round of the North West Cyclo Cross League. With online chatter prior to the event consisting mostly of "Rounds counting towards the overall league", a single comment on Saturday afternoon promised a fast, all-rideable, big-ring only c...

Another weekend of cyclo cross racing has passed and it's been another great one for the team. First up was The Geoff Bewley Memorial Cross which meant returning to Otterspool Park (Liverpool) for arguably the highlight of the North West league. A fantastically well organised event by the L...

Despite clear blue skies and a distinct lack of rain, Pignut Hill provided an abundance of mud to test rider skill and technique, taking riders through numerous switchbacks, down slippy descents and up technical ascents. The race commenced and it was typically fast paced. Elbows clashed, w...

Round 7 of the North West calendar saw the team travel to the shores of the Mersey to fight it out at Otterspool Park for the East Liverpool Wheelers Cross. In contrast to the previous weekend's racing, the course was dry and fast, with no hills, steps or hurdles requiring any rider dismount. <...

Another weekend, another cyclo cross race in the North West League and a visit to Barnoldswick for a brand new venue that was hosted by Cycle Sport Pendle. The course was a dismount heavy one, involving a set of steps, two sets of hurdles, two steep banks and an off camber section that quic...

The first double race weekend of the North West calendar proved to be eventful one for the team. First up was a trip to Windermere and a revisit to the course used in last year's North of England championship. This time, instead of inches of snow and temperatures below zero, the racing took...

Normal cyclo cross conditions returned for round three! The baked ground of Manchester was replaced with a soggy, muddy trudge through Bolton! Paul, Giles, Pete and Andy all came out to play along with Roy, who couldn't of picked a better wetter race to start his CX season ...

Due to the delayed website launch, we kind of missed the boat as far as the cross country & road racing seasons go. So I thought I would nail a couple of birds with one stone by adding some content to the new site & summarise the ups and downs of my 2011 season. This season has been a… lets...

After a disapointing first round in the mud, a performance was needed in the bone dry and the team duly delivered an impressive 1-2! Even fighting a pretty nasty cold, Paul's usual starting speed was still present as he led the 111 strong field for the first lap with only Giles & Tom Armst...

Welcome to www.Team-Elite.co.uk! It's been a while in development, apparently bike racers get pretty busy during the season and neglect other things, who knew? Anyway, a little bit of publicity / self-promotion never hurt nobody so here we are, hope you find it useful. We'...
