CTT Affiliation
SRAMcc is affiliated to Cycling Time Trials. This means that members can compete under the club colours at both open and other time trial events. There are a couple of important items of note for members entering any CTT events stipulated by the CTT organisation. Members must used the full name of the club when registering for events (Salisbury Road and Mountain Cycling Club). This is to avoid confusion with a well known cycle component manufacturer. When entering open time trials, the only permitted SRAMcc kit is the 2017 version. As a club we are not permitted to carry any sponsors logos on our kit. For events other than open time trials, the older versions of the club kit may be worn. If you have any questions in relation to our affiliation, then please let us know.
SRAMcc Kit
We have a club cycling kite design, which we encourage club members to use on all rides to help promote the club. Certain competitive events require you to wear properly registered club kit, and our kit design has been registered. Because the kit is made up by the supplier in batches we need to provide a group order, you cannot order individual items. The club aims to set up a group kit order about two times a year, so look out on the club Facebook page if you are interested. For further details contact Mark Harvey, who is the club kit officer.

SRAMcc Kit
The club kit has been updated for 2017 to remove any sponsors logos. This change has been brought in as the club no longer has any commercial association. The updated kit design has been registered with British Cycling. Club kit can be purchased via Halosports contact us if you need the password.
