Alistair 'Madal' Cope of Axe Valley Pedallers was delighted to be representing The Prostate Cancer Charity at the recent launch of Team Qoroz 2010, which was held at Qoroz HQ near Stroud.

 

The young riders of the South West Bike Academy were given a positive and enthusiastic send-off. The U23 team comprises of Ben Stockdale, Matt Ullmer, Hugh Wilson, Josh   Yetman, Luke Dunbar and Tom Stockdale, with female rider Greta Junker, who started the Axe Valley Pedaller Round the Block Round the Clock charity ride last year was  unavailable to attend. The team displayed the new team issue bike, the Race Won, as well as new kit that will be easily spotted in the peloton this year.

Sponsors, guests, friends and family joined-in an open forum question and answer session, where team manager, David Walters, and Qoroz designer, Marcus Eales, fielded wide-ranging questions relating to bike design philosophy and manufacture, as well as the Team’s aspirations and race programme.
 

Alistair 'Madal' Cope, representing the Prostate Cancer Charity, commented “The team are ambassadors for this year’s Tour Ride to be held in the South West on the 5^th September, and a better bunch of enthusiastic and determined riders we couldn’t find. We wish them all the best of luck.”

 

Alistair continued, “The Tour Ride is set to be a great event for East Devon as the ‘Challenge Tour Ride’ is going to start in Honiton. It should be a fantastic day for all those interested in cycling locally. Full details can be found at www.touride.co.uk
