Between the FlanRou crew we ride, we fix, we sell, we coach, we compete, we travel, we cheer on... you get the picture.
We don't bugger about with tatty bling, digital certificates or cold falafels. Because we like to think our riders would rather have real food, proper nutrition, genuine on course support and dependable sorts working on the team that will look after you like one of our own.
Routemaster, commentator and grinning pilot of Lillian.
A lot of you know Johnny from within the bike trade, so if it's Shimano part numbers you need, then he is your go to geek. Agent for plenty of other great bike trade gear too.
Engine room. Behind the scenes keeping the circus rolling towards town.
You can blame him for waiting on web updates and those long promised galleries of photos. But he's handy with the planning, organisation, camera and digital artwork.
Spannermonkey and an absolute diamond.
SomersetBikeCentre.com - Ian has been in the trade for a long time, knows his sprockets and you will be hard pushed to find a more trustworthy soul to work on your pride and joy. Workshop based in Weston-super-Mare and Cheddar. Looks like he should be on a list though.
Car parking, feed stops and lady magnet.
You have no doubt seen Leon waving you in, pointing to parking spots or out there on a feed stop. Been with us for almost every edition. Handy barman, cart builder and pasty smuggler.
Spud tickler and pudding shepherdess.
If you have ridden OMLOOP then you know how good the hall smells on your return from a fresh March ride. Suffered through every event and the boxes around the house in preparation for weeks before too!
Head of Security.
Watch her, she'll clatter you with that laddle if you step out of line, make no mistake. Putting the hours in behind the scenes, often found checking everything is ship shape at the FlanRou storage facility.
...there are more of the crew to come soon... you've not got away with it.
