2011 UK Youth Championships

We are pleased to announce we shall be supporting the 2011 UK National Youth Championships which are being held at Lister Park in Bradford, England on Sunday 24th July.

The UK Youth championships are a major highlight on the cycling calendar for riders born between 1995 and 2000, with graded events for Youth A, B, C and D categories. Each event will provide a National champion’s jersey for each winner plus medals, trophies and cash prizes for competitors.

The course is held on a 1.85km circuit and will certainly provide worthy winners in each category, incorporating a 350m climb with a gradient of 1 in 12, which means this won’t be a course for the sit-in sprinters but is a course fit for true champions.

Bike Pure co-founder Myles McCorry said “We are very excited to support this event. It’s vitally important that we as an organisation support events such as this. The UK Youth Championships are the very grass roots events that provide our sport with the next generation of riders.”

McCorry added, “We feel that education is the key, not only on an anti-doping level, but also on a sporting ethical level providing respect for your fellow competitors. If we can instill these important values upon riders at an early age then we will reap the rewards as they progress through the cycling ranks.”

Bike Pure shall be providing wristbands to each and every competitor for the event along with prizes for competitors.

Race Director Mike Parkinson said, “We are delighted that Bike Pure is backing the National Youth Championships.  The children competing in this race are our future cycling superstars and to promote the Bike Pure principals at this young age can only be a positive step for the integrity of cycling.”

Triton Construction Ltd are the main sponsors for this year’s event and Aire Valley Cycles have lined up as co-sponsors to provide race service for the big day.
