Revolution Cycle Sport are able to offer services supporting the Events Organiser.
Mechanical Support
Mechanical support varies depending on your event. You may wish to have static locations at the start or set checkpoints throughout the route. You may also want to offer mobile service support, or maybe both. Support may be expected at a race, and is usually expected at charity rides, sportives or leisure rides.
Fundamentally – event support is not an opportunity for your participants to get a quick service! The responsibility is on each rider to bring a mechanically sound bicycle to the event. You are offering a support mechanism for last-minute adjustments and tweaks and unforeseen problems and repairs for any incident that occurs before or during the event.
This would likely include punctures, snapped gear cables, bent derailleur hangers after a fall, wheels knocked out of true, minor gear and brake refinement.
There is no set format – so please get in contact with us. The price is usually set at a day rate and will vary depending on event location, support location/s and event duration.
Usually, your riders would only be expected to pay for parts if required (card and cash are fine) – we just work all day on the bikes that come to us, either fixing the problem or doing the best we can to help that rider complete their event.
Event Planning and Management
Planning a cycling event can be daunting – but help is on hand. Revolution Cycle Sport offers bespoke services from initial consultation and assistance through the planning process right the way through to the event itself.
With previous experience working for British Cycling Events, Simon (the owner) can help you with any of the following areas: registration of events where applicable, working with Governing Bodies, gaining Police and Local Authority permissions, options to acquire event insurance, HQ planning and considerations, route planning including considerations and risk assessment, HQ and route signage, event marshals and volunteers, event promotion and rider profiling, rider entry options and general event logistics.
You may be planning a competitive event on the road, gravel or trail, a charity ride, a sportive or leisure ride, or an epic ride covering multiple days. There is no set format, but the detail in your planning will give your event the delivery your entrants expect!
British Cycling Mountain Bike Leader
We love riding off road with friends, teams or corporate groups. Being outdoors offers a fantastic opportunity for friends and workmates to enjoy the South Downs National Park, the stunning Surrey Hills or further afield.
Our favourite rides utilise the local South Downs Way offering 100 miles of classic cross-country mountain biking with stunning scenery, rolling terrain and challenging climbs, and some fun descents.
Based in West Sussex, we can organise an all year round range of group rides, half day, single day or multi day. Bring your own bike, or we can arrange bike and Ebike rental. Bespoke trips tailored to you, friendly, fun, safe and outdoors.
Corporate experiences, team-building days. Mountain biking is a rewarding way for workplace teams to spend time together in the natural environment on out doorstep.
