Since 2021, Team VB has been about one thing — helping more people discover the thrill of racing and the power of community through cycling and triathlon.
What started as a few of us pinning on numbers and trying to figure out how to enter a race has grown into a full racing setup with road, CX, MTB, track, time-trial and triathlon squads.
And for 2026, we’re recruiting new members to join Team VB, which includes:
-
VBRT – our British Cycling race team for the above disciplines
-
VB Tri-Squad – our growing triathlon and multi-sport community
Whether you’re chasing results or just want to be part of a genuine, welcoming group that loves to race, we’d love to have you with us, and can help you get to the next level.
My Story – Why Team VB Exists
I fell in love with cycling in 2017.
I decided I wanted to race in 2020 - then COVID hit.
By 2021, I’d had enough of waiting. I didn’t know anyone who raced, didn’t have any guidance, and honestly, it was confusing and intimidating. But I entered the very last race of the season on my own.
In 2022, I started VBRT to make sure other people didn’t have to feel like I did. I wanted to build a proper team, have some fun and do things differently.
Since then, so much has happened - people have come and gone, others have been here since day one. I’ve been sidelined recently but watching our riders and triathletes represent VB across the country fills me with immense pride.
This team works because it’s full of good people. No egos. No gatekeepers. No nonsense.
Just people who love the sport and want to help each other get better.
Racing at Every Level
We’re proud to have VB riders competing across:
-
Road, Cyclocross, MTB, and Track under British Cycling
-
Time Trials and Hill Climbs via our CTT Club
-
Triathlon and Multi-Sport, led by one of the most experienced setups in the UK:
-
Matt – 15+ years of racing and coaching
-
Simon – current pro and qualified coach
-
Jimmy – former top-level pro
-
Wherever you race, you’ll be part of something bigger - with support, advice, and a strong team around you.
Women’s Racing – A Core Part of VB
From the start, we’ve been passionate about supporting women’s cycling.
At one point, we had 15 women racing for VB, and we’ll continue to do everything we can to grow that side of the team again - helping more women start racing, find confidence, and enjoy the sport.
