 TORQ Performance Team riders and brothers Sion and Anthony O’Boyle last weekend headed to Wentwood Forest for the TORQ fuelled Goshawk Challenge, a grueling 50km enduro around the fantastic trails on offer in this lesser know woodland.

Our latest recruit; Ian Roberts, started his racing campaign for the TORQ Triathlon team by winning the Althorp duathlon. 

Nick continues his racing throughout the winter, ready for the duathlon season, but alas with snow disruption, he’s had to settle for running events…

This is my first article for the TORQ website… so, how do I introduce myself?
