cements her GOAT status by managing to drop a masterful performance at the Elite UCI World Cup round in Troyes whilst balancing a job and a part time masters.
Another sublime weekend from our women’s captain with much, MUCH more to come ☝️☝️

Social Sec, International Heartbreaker, Certified Forklift operator, and Jersey Easter stage race GC contender, Ollie really shows that variety is the spice of life. He’ll be bringing outrageous style, chat, and poor decisions to CURCT this year and will be responsible for a minimum of three bouts of alcohol poisoning (self-inflicted). Ollie will be our new and improved social sec, aiming to build on the (subjective) successes of last year.

Favorite position: Man 1
Favorite Cyclist: Harry Jenner
Least favorite committee member: Dexter
Weapon of choice: HPP chat
Greatest weakness: raw chicken before Bucs 🦖🦖

Some say ( ) that bigger isn’t always better, but here at CURCT we firmly disagree. This is why for our secretary for next year we have potentially the longest and cutest cyclist the world has ever seen, the one and only Gabe Griffin. Urban planning and causals extraordinaire, Gabe has everything you would ever need covered for next year. Easily the most polite man in a bunch sprint EVER.

Favorite position: Windbreaker
Favorite Cyclist: Tom Pidcock
Least favorite committee member: Dexter
Weapon of choice: 3 for 5£ Jagerbombs in Kings
Greatest weakness: Penarth

Maths isn’t my strong point and I’m not sure if it’s abel’s either but regardless and with much love we announce Charlie as treasurer for next year. An appetite for the gym, sharking freshers, stealing doors, and all-things Esme; nobody is getting through this wall of muscle and part-time HGV driving instructor to embezzle the club funds. I would trust this man with my money and so should you.

Favorite position: (still unable to comment)
Favorite Cyclist: Lance Armstrong
Least favorite committee member: whoever wrote this ^^
Weapon of choice: the athletics social sec
Greatest weakness’: Protein/Tuesday chainy fast group

She may have been a fresher in 2010 and we’re not sure if she’ll ever leave uni, but she is still the most lethal pocket rocket CURCT has ever seen. Ripping it up on the track, road, trails, and in Heath Campus Ruby is a force to contend with, (even if in a skinsuit from before half the committee were born). We’re super stoked to have her onboard as our women’s captain for next season and can’t wait to have more woman join the team and show swansea what they can do…again 🤟🤟🤟

12/09/2023

Our resident roadman and new MENS ROAD CAPTAIN Tommy C will be taking the reins for all things team selection, team deselection, and team re-selection. A busy agenda this year with Bucs and boozing will keep this roadman off the streets and firmly on the turbo (if daddy morgan allows). Egg lover and all things italian aficionado Stewart will be the anchor of our ship for the next and most successful ever season of CuRCt. (safety)

Favorite position: in the caf
Favorite Cyclist: Fabio Aru
Least favorite committee member: Dexter
Weapon of choice: Kimber’s legs
Greatest weakness: living with Ollie Morgan
