For the second year running The Clan, one of the UK’s premier cycling stunt teams, is running a competition to find a new rider for their 2012 roster of shows; and as with last year the proviso is that the lucky winner must be plucky, fearless, highly skilled – and female. Since their inception in 2008 The Clan have always pushed to highlight the expertise of female riders with team manager Iain Withers saying, ‘It’s important to have diversity in our team and especially to ensure a female rider is present to show all the girls out there riding is not just for boys… It comes from the vibe of our show, trying to convince people that cycling is cool and fun and exciting for everyone.’ With the closing date of April 20 fast approaching and £5,000 up for grabs in addition to the much sought after spot on the team, applicants need to email Withers (ian@mb7.com) for full details and an entry/application form.
