Foreword

Welcome to Antelope Racing Team's Web site. The club is one of the south's most successful Cycle Racing Teams. We participate in all aspects of cycle racing, including time trials, cyclo cross, road and track.

History

Founded in 1977 by Glenn Longland and funded by a generous donation by long time family friend Vic Jackson the club president. The club originally consisted of just six members in its first year. Only Glen and Long term tandem partner, Nev Stroud, remain from the orignal lineup, which boasted Martin Springer (National Junior Cyclo Cross Champ), Dave Doust (National Junior 25 Champ) and Martin Whitmarsh (now a Director of McLaren Formula 1 Racing).

The club has boasted many members of note, both male and female over the years. Of the the men John Woodburn, Clive Brooks, Terry Icke, Chris Ball, Jemery Short, Pete Pickers, Alan Dwason, Richard Grace, Darren Perkins and Mark Pearce spring to mind. The Ladies members have seen Leigh Lamont and Marina Bloom.

The club has had National Championship honours at 10,25,50,100 miles, 12 and 24 hours as well as Junior, ladies, mens and Team BBAR champions. A number of RTTC and BCF Competition records have been held, and numerous RRA place to place records on Solo, trike and tandem trike.

Perhaps the the clubs greatest honour came when Glenn Longland became the first rider in history to break the illusive 300 mile barrier in 12 hours.

Long tern sponsor Mike Radford of Radford Accounts stepped down as the club's official sponsor in 2000 and the club has the honour of having two major sponsors in the form of Ron Strudwick of RS Holding and Hugh Radford of Ambiet Energy Sytems.
