CTS Cycling Team

We are heart broken to share the news that Andy Shaw, long time team member and friend has passed away. Andy was instrumental in raising our team to the next level. He was an unassuming Category 1, TN state champion, and gravel national champion. He loved racing his bike and was pretty good at standing tall on the podium. He was passionate about cycling, involved in multiple cycling clubs including ours. His life was cut short by a collision with a truck while participating in a group ride on Sunday July 27th 2025. A reminder to everyone to live your best and most present life. Ride safe!

Not details on a service, but we’ll update this post when we know more.

Two more World Championships for Kent! Kent Bostick is the Men’s Champion du Monde Scratch and Points Race at the Roubaix Velodrome in France.

Our friend and teammate has been hit with a big challenge. In August he was diagnosed with a super rare paranasal sinus carcinoma. He’s down in Texas at where he’s in a clinical trial treatment. He and his family can use our thoughts and if you can support them further we’ve put the link to their Give Send Go in our bio. Heal up quickly Bryan!

2024 team clothing store is open! With a fresh new look inspired by the colors of our two title sponsors, CTS and NWN.

CTS is a world leading endurance sports coaching company that has supported the team going on 7 years now. They help athletes become the best versions of themselves on and off the bike.
NWN is a communications company that connects businesses in the digital space and believes in our mission of connecting people through sport.

We designed a traditional kit that meshes well with our existing design and decided to be a little extra and have a variation we’re calling “splatter” that’s inspired by the mud splatters you get riding gravel and mountain bikes.

In preparation for sitting on the couch all day Sunday watching ParisRoubaix, the team toasted their legs on Saturday at Hot Springs. They course is legendary and worth racing or riding on your own terms. A good amount of pavement early on to tick off some miles and then three awesome gravel climbs and descents, steep and technical with amazing long range views.
