Annual BBQ Highlights:
Last week, we enjoyed some rare sunny weather and held our annual BBQ. The team had a great time cycling at lunchtime, followed by delicious food and fun in the office backyard. Which is a great way for the team to enjoy each other’s company prior to the summer holidays season starting. A big shoutout to our amazing chefs who organised and cooked for us – you did a fantastic job!
Stay tuned for our next update where we’ll reveal the final results of the Love to Ride Challenge and share more exciting news from Elite.

Elite Cycle Warriors are Back for the May 2024 Love to Ride Challenge
The Elite Cycle Warriors are back and started the Love to Ride Challenge of May 2024.  The helmets have been dusted down, bikes oiled, tires checked and we are off…!
There’s something undeniably exhilarating about the arrival of May – the birds chirping, the flowers blooming, and of course, the almost perfect weather (we do live in Scotland!), for some epic cycling adventures. And what better way to celebrate than by joining fellow cyclists in the ultimate two-wheeled showdown?
The Love to Ride Challenge is not just any ordinary cycling event – it’s a month-long extravaganza filled with camaraderie, competition, and, most importantly, a whole lot of fun! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just dusting off your old cruiser, there’s a place for everyone in this pedal-powered fiesta.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your bike, rally your friends and colleagues, and let’s make this May one for the record books. The road awaits, fellow cycle warriors – let’s ride!
Elite Bowling Night
As Winter departs and Spring beckons, lighter nights arrive so some of the team headed to the bowls for a bit of indoor fun and a night at the ten-pin bowling. Blowing off some steam (Very relevant for one of our customers projects just now!) a few bowls were thrown down the lane and knocking over a few pins (sometimes!) whilst trying to avoid that nasty gutter (more often than some of us would have liked) helped get rid of a few cobwebs and helped get everyone out of the rain for a while.
Spot the winners by the biggest smiles…..
Nature’s Newest Team Member
Look who clocked in at Elite House today… !
Our newest “remote” team member is none other than this majestic deer, choosing our surroundings for some outdoor office vibes. We think that they’re here to ensure our work blends seamlessly with nature’s rhythm!
While they might not have a desk or a laptop, (Yet) they’re always welcome to join our brainstorming sessions under the open sky. Here’s to embracing unexpected collaborators!
Virtual Golf Evening
Once the December festivities wind down, January often unfolds as a quieter, somewhat subdued month – the twinkling lights are packed away, and the last of the Christmas chocolates have disappeared. Coupled with the dreary weather typical of January evenings, it can be challenging to find enjoyable activities.
However, the team at Elite refused to let the January blues hold them back. Rather than succumbing to the monotony of the season, they decided to embark on an unconventional adventure – golfing. But not just any golfing; this wasn’t about braving the wet and wild outdoors or searching for lost balls on a frosty green. The team opted for a unique experience – Virtual Golfing, and no it’s not the nostalgic game console you might find at home.
Steering clear of the traditional indoor miniature golf, (Though that might have been a good bit easier for folks) they sought out an immersive experience at a Virtual Golfing Simulator. This high-tech marvel transported them not only to renowned golf courses around the world but also to some unconventional and captivating landscapes. And the best part? They still got to wield real golf clubs, adding authenticity to their virtual escapade.
Amidst rounds of golf and friendly banter, the team found themselves thoroughly engrossed in the simulator’s challenges. After an exhilarating and competitive session, the evening was capped off with a welcome visit to the local Curry House where some embellished tales of “unlucky not to have.. and “No, I definitely was nearest the pin at Pebble beach….” were discussed.
All in all the evening turned out to be a fantastic escape from the gloom of a wet and windy January, team Elite are already looking forward to their next adventure…..
