Team Vision
Background
Based locally the DFS Bikers was formed during the month of May 2006. It's aim's are simple, it's goal's are simple. It's founder has difficulty in understanding how sport's club's - not just cycling - make life difficult for themselves. Having travelled the world, competing or training, it seem's to be the Jersey way to make life hard, not just for other people but for themselves as well. Sport is a very important, fitness is very important, whether it be at school - where the future of the islands sporting teams lie - or during our life's. This is also something which I have difficulty in understanding, when a club or organisation tries to arrange a sporting event the number of people against the proposed event is frightening, why? what actual harm does it do? I know those comments will anger many people, but sometimes people need to have a good long hard look in a mirror and maybe question what they see.
Club Comment
Going on from the above and trying very hard not to get on the 'soapbox', I shall now try to move on and get the the important issue's, those being - training, competing, enjoying life. The club's motto will be the same as the DFS Masters SC which covers the above. The club is not in direct competition with anyone or any organisation, but will compete and promote good racing.
Elite 'ism does not work within local sporting clubs!
If you are that good what are you doing here?
The Aim of the DFS Bikers
Although the title suggests that the club is purely a swimming club, this is not so. The club is multi talented, pro multi sport's and pro enjoying sport, whether training or competing.
So really the aim(s) is quite simple;
1. To enjoy training.
2. To enjoy competing.
3. To learn at every event.
4. To remove politics from my sport.
5. To make life easy.
6. To understand why so many people make life hard (?)(why?).
Important Extras
1. Respect other Road Users
2. Respect to get Respected
3. Promote Road Safety
4. No Swearing on the Queen's Highway.
5. Train like a Team
6. Race like a Team
