ABOUT US
Team T1C was started four years ago. Initially branded as Team TVC (Thames Valley Cycling) in reference to the region most of the riders are from. In our first season (2008), we numbered 9 riders. Now in our 6th season together, the team has reorganized and will continue to compete on the road, trail, cross course and track.
The new team name T1C (Type 1 Cycling) is in reference to founder Carlo Capaldi who has Type 1 Diabetes.
This year the team is composed of 20 athletes, four of whom are type 1 diabetic. Throughout the year, Carlo will work with his friend and fellow diabetic Chris Jarvis, to host several events that are 'geared' towards helping those with type 1 diabetes, live active lifestyles. Chris was a member of the Canada's Olympic rowing team, and won numerous medals at World Cup rowing events, and gold at the Pam-Am games in 2007. Check Chris Jarvis' website 'I Challenge Diabetes' for upcoming events. .
The rest of the team are what diabetics affectionately call Type 3's. Thier blood sugar levels are always perfect! They too are very accomplished individuals both in their professions and in their cycling.
We are fortunate to be sponsored by London Honda for a third season. We thank them for making us look so good in our team kit, and supporting local athletes. Other sponsors include Speedpro Imaging and coachchris.ca
Finally, we need to mention our shop sponsor Village Cycle. Mark at Village Cycle has helped this team grow and achieve the many podiums we have stood on. He takes care of the team, as well as his customers. He has the coolest little bike store around.
