Next generation of elite cyclists boosted

Mud Dock is delighted to be sponsoring the University of Bristol Cycling Club as it nurtures the next generation of elite cyclists.
Alongside Eversheds, the respected and renowned international law firm, Mud Dock is supporting the club by developing a new line-up of events, possible Spanish training camps, and a sparkling new kit. 
 Jack Rae, Club President, said of Mud Dock's involvement:
"This new sponsorship marks a significant step in bridging the gap between the university's populace of young, bright and keen cyclists with local business; specifically the superlative bike shop and restaurant, Mud Dock."
Some initiatives of the sponsorship have already been realised, with the design and sale of the 2011/2012 club kit. Our subsidy and design critique of this year's clothing means it is higher quality and better looking. As a result, the club has already seen record-breaking kit sales in the summer pre-orders.

Jerry Arron, Mud Dock co-founder, had this to say about the tie-up:
"We're delighted to be supporting such a great club. As well as our financial support we're talking with the club about setting up guided rides for new club members and also a winter training camp in Mallorca. And offering any student that signs up at Fresher's Fair a Mud Dock goody bag or a free bicycle lock."
More information:
