We are Jay and Maddie Horton, husband and wife in a mountain bike marriage of mud, sweat and gears. We ride for Team Certini(www.certini.co.uk),an outstanding bike shop just over the river Tamar from Plymouth. We first bumped into the Squirt crew when they helped keep our bikes moving on our way to victory in the mixed team category in TransWales 2009.  Since then Squirt has been ever present on our bikes.
Maddie is the English Mountain Bike Marathon Champion 2009, a familiar face in the women's elite field and spends the winter racing Cyclo-cross and duathlon.
Husband Jay can be found competing whenever Maddie is and races in the Master men cat.  Together we fun Fully Sussed Mountain Bike Academy (www.fullysussed.co.uk) which provides mountain bike training in the south west.  Maddis is also the founder of the Filthy Foxes, a woman's only mountain bike club in Plymouth.
Our passion for cycling and determination to promote cross country mountain bike racing in south west England has led us to organise two race series in 2010.
We spend too much time on our bikes to bother with shoddy products. We're happy to promote Squirt as our lube of choice and the comedy name encourages no end of double entendres.

Gary is a regular competitor at Trans style events.In 2009 he found himself at both the Trans-Alp and the trans-Wales.
This years Trans-Wales was to make up for last year when descending a tricky descend he twisted his ankle and had to squeeze his foot into his shoe to start the following days special test stage.The ankle injury took away any chance of a category win.

If you ever watched a 24hr race or even given it a thought before rejecting it as a crazy idea then read Trevor Allens of USE story. Trevor trained for a year and raced the Bontrager 12/24 and got to stand on the podium in 3rd. Although Trevor has a little more talent then he might admit to hes telling us all we can do it. Joolze Dymond even snapped an awesome shot of him just for good measure. Check joolze site via our links page.

Being a wax/water emulsion Squirt lube is the only dry lube that does not contain a solvent, and as a result is more environmentally friendly than the others. Squirt has also been proven to exceed maximum biodegradablility criteria and brakes down 80% in 28 days, 25% better than the required limit. Squirt is 100% biodegraded in 58 days. This makes Squirt a friend of the earth

Jake works for the Hub at Glentress Forest and can also be found racing the Scottish XC Champs Series. His knowledge of all things mechanical is only surpassed by the files of music inside his head.

Nickson only arrived in the UK two days before the start of the GORE BIKE WEAR TransWales, and his only taste of British riding - up until the start in Wales - was a lap of Richmond Park in London. But not only is the event his first ever stage race, but it's the first time he's ever ridden a full suspension bike (a Merida 96, courtesy of Merida Bikes)too. Displaying this type of Spirit Nickson is now a friend of Squirt.
