London Academy Community

The London Academy race hard, stay together and seem to laugh more than any racing team we have ever been involved in. Everyone is keen to progress themselves as a racer and at the same time, the whole community of women's bike racing. It couldn't be clearer.

The London Academy now has a brand new website where news and events will constantly be posted - The London Academy

All Roads Lead to Sarah

All roads lead to Sarah King (Team Principal). And it's never a quiet day - recently Sarah was dealing with three broken wrists belonging to only two riders. Sarah has a lot of hats to wear. If you think you want to get involved, help, race etc, please get in contact with us at Cyclefit and we will put you in touch with Sarah.
