The CRC journey began in 1984 as a small family business in Northern Ireland, serving and supporting local cyclists. It’s been an incredible ride so far, with the company growing to a collective of over 450 cyclists, swimmers, runners and passionate professionals supporting a global community of cycle and multisport athletes. n 1984 George and Janice Watson made the decision to open a bike shop and armed with just a £1,500 bank loan, they set up Ballynure Cycles in the small village of Ballynure in Northern Ireland. ''Janice and I had always been keen cyclists and used to spend holidays touring on our bikes,'' says George, and with him also having a great level of mechanical experience after spending his youth working on cars and motorbikes they were ideally positioned to create a great little family bike business. After some great years in Ballynure, the next obvious step to progress the business was a move to the larger neighbouring town of Ballyclare with a much bigger catchment area. There was no bike shop in the town, and so, in 1989, a suitable premises was found and the first big move took place.
