Throughout the month of May, the Elite Cycle Warriors have been tirelessly working through the Love2Ride Bike Challenge.
We are excited to announce that the Warriors have completed their quest and have racked in an staggering 3,209 points which brings them into 1st Position for West Lothian, Engineering and Manufacturing Industry category and a fantastic 3rd Position for all of Scotland.
The Elite Cycle Warriors have poured blood, sweat and tears into the challenge and their efforts have lead them to this great success. This wouldn’t have been possible without this year’s Team Captain Lewis Galloway who spearheaded the recruitment and motivation of the warriors.
After a gruelling month the Team took the opportunity of a short break in the fantastic weather to celebrate by having a BBQ behind headquarters when with a lot of food, laughter and well deserved fun for a job well done.
The Elite Cycle Warriors are now having a well deserved rest, but will soon be eager to take part in new challenges in the future but for now I hope you all join us in saying a massive congratulations to the Elite Cycle Warriors.

The Elite Cycle Warriors have weathered another challenging week . Come rain or shine, these passionate cyclists continue to pedal away both before and after work, even opting for lunchtime cycling sessions. And when the sun dares to show its face, they take advantage of the opportunity by relaxing as a team on the grass beside their workplace.
Despite their current lead in the West Lothian race, they refuse to let their guard down. With five days left, anything can happen. So, they remain sharp and focused on their mission.
Driven by an insatiable desire for victory, the Elite Cycle Warriors power on mile after mile towards the finish line. Asphalt stretches before them endlessly, and they welcome the sun on their faces and the wind in their ears. They will persist until they become champions – the unbeatable Elite Cycle Warriors.
