About Us

About Us

Rancid Cat Riders is about Racing and Riding on the trails and tracks around the UK and further afield

Who we are

We are just a bunch of riders who ride out on the roads and trails, and occasionally race for fun.

We are based in the south of England in the Surrey & Berkshire counties, and ride and race hereabouts. You will find us riding in the Surrey Hill, and Swinley Forest, and all locations in-between. We also head off to Wales for some more serious stuff.

 

We started racing, specifically in the Torq in your Sleep 12 hour mountain bike enduro race a few years back, as a team of 2, coming dead last. We since then gained more members of the team, and have been slowly climbing up the leaderboards each year from then on.

 

Since this triggered a natural competitiveness, we also race in the Southern XC short course XC series, the XC Rampage series, and will also be attending some Scott MTB Marathon events. So hunt us down and say hello.!

Get out on the trails.! Take a risk, do a race, you might come last, but you’ll be ahead of the person sitting on the sofa.!!
