The sport of competitive cycling is time consuming and financially challenging. Not only do participants need to spend hours of training, but they also need to have a healthy bank balance in order to afford the right type of equipment, maintenance expenses, travelling costs and entry fees, especially for those who do it for the love of the sport and work for a living. Fortunately there are companies committed to assist.

Valve & Automation is the main sponsor and co-sponsors include Wadeville Steel, Jorgensen Motors, St.Elmo’s and Vita-a-Go.

The team has had good successes, by winning The Fast On, Berge and Dale, Twsane Classic Emperors’ Casino Race, Carnival City and the Maluti challenge.
