In December 2016, Verulam CC formed a racing team to provide the infrastructure and team support to nurture and grow talented riders. We have a particular goal of developing our youth riders and supporting them through their racing journey. This team is based in St Albans and since early 2017 has been competing successfully in men's and women's regional, national and international events, at all ages from youths through to masters.

At the end of 2024 we were thrilled to announce a new partnership with Megan’s restaurants, who will be co-sponsoring our cycle racing team. Megan’s will join Verulam CC as new headline sponsors for the team from the start of the 2025 season on a new two-year initial deal term; the team will now become Verulam Megan’s Racing Team. We would like to acknowledge and thank Reallymoving.com for the incredible support that they provided to the team over the past 8 years.

In announcing the new sponsorship, Team Manager, Doug Driscoll explained “Over the last eight seasons we’ve achieved a huge amount, both in terms of providing a pathway for young riders to race nationally and internationally, and creating, from a standing-start, a team that is now recognised one of the best racing teams certainly in the region. The partnership with Megan’s enables us to support even more aspiring young racers to compete with a comprehensive package of kit and support from the team”

Emily Tutty, Marketing Manager at Megan’s, added “Community is at the heart of all that we do here at Megan’s & we’re delighted to be able to partner with Verulam! We’re passionate about supporting our local communities, as is reflected in our goal to be the nation’s most loved neighbourhood restaurant. We are so excited to follow the progress of the team’s young athletes & look forward to welcoming them into Megan’s at the Old Bell to refuel with their friends & family post-race!”

UltimateMover.com will also be sponsoring the team, with their Managing Consultant Stan Nwaka saying: “We’re really pleased to be a sponsor and it’s a nice feeling to be supporting a cycling team which is at the heart of youth development at a local and national level”

The racing team can assist our racers with training, race preparation, tactics and experienced advice, organisation & planning (what races to ride, leagues, and series), working together as a team (building a good team spirit, celebrating success and generating pride in the team). The Racing Team has regular coached team rides and has organised training camps including trips to Spain and Belgium. We also have social rides, particularly to our favourite coffee shop Spoke Cycles CC in Codicote.

In deciding to invest in sponsoring the racing team, the Verulam CC club committee were confident that this will help raise the Verulam CC image and profile to new levels.

This team represents Verulam CC, club members & fellow cyclists, and our sponsors, putting something back into the sport and in particular, creating a pathway for the next generation.

We feel great pride seeing our riders achieving success in the racing world and knowing that all the support of the club and our sponsors has played a key part in making it happen.
