Over the first weekend in August, I had the opportunity to link up with Team UK Youth for the Prudential Ride London-Surrey Classic. My camera and I followed them both behind the scenes and on the road. I’ll let my pictures do most of the talking …

Team UK Youth is owned by Nigel Mansell (looks like Formula 1 drivers really do have a penchant for cycling!) and is currently second in the UK rankings, behind Sky. The team was formed to represent the work and values of UK Youth, a charity that supports over 750,000 young people, helping them to raise their aspirations, realise their potential and have their achievements recognised via non-formal, accredited education programmes and activities.
