Exciting New Lineup For Arcane Women’s Team
Arcane Women’s Team have moved quickly to fill their Team Roster for 2020. After injuries etc. to some of our key riders in 2019, we were lucky to sign Nikki Taggart mid season after a recommendation from her club Marble City.
Nikki hit the road spinning, racking up some sprint wins in Corkagh Park, and earning selection to the Women’s Cycling Ireland Teams for both the Tour Of Omagh & Rás na mBan.
Taggart finished the season with an Irish National Medal leading our Team Pursuit, Click the Following Article.
Team to National Silver.
Elizabeth Kent and Jennifer Huston soon followed Nikki to the Arcane Women’s set-up. Both riders will be riding their first ever racing season, but they have already proven strong additions during performance testing and Track
training.
Kent is from a background of horse riding, cycling is a relatively new sport for her. Before 2018 her cycling adventures involved a daily commute, an occasional sportive and a spin with friends and family on a sunny day. She is grateful to have the opportunity to learn and train with a group of female cyclists who share the same passion for cycling her, and she is looking forward to the hard work, learning curves and all the fun that will come in 2020 with the Arcane Women’s Cycling Team.
Jenny Huston started cycling with Marble City Cyclers in Kilkenny in May 2018, and she has been hooked from the first spin!
She is now rarely off the bike with training, Sportives and cycling holidays
