It's nearly been a full 12 months since we introduced our very own off-road.cc race team. Over the past year, four off.road.cc staff members embarked on a full race season for the first time and have come together to discuss their experiences. Here's your final episode of Team ORCC '22.

• Team ORCC: Cyclocross goes enduro
• Team ORCC: Brad battles it out on the beach for April
• Team ORCC | EP.09 - Raiders Gravel, CX points and Southern Enduro

For any racer, a season's racing comes with high points and low points and Team ORCC exemplifies this notion as it's been our first time taking on a full season. Not only has it been tumultuous for the individual members but we even saw a change of members and one departure.

In this video, we come together to reflect on our first season and talk about the project as a whole. And although we all rode different bikes over different genres of off-road cycling, we all agreed on a number of points - mainly pertaining to how tough it can be as an amateur racer when it comes to balancing racing, training and a day job. However, I don't think we could put into words how much we have all enjoyed the competitive side of riding bikes.

As for the future, watch this space but for now, we must extend a big thanks to our sponsors who have supported us throughout the year. Those are Canyon, MET and Hammerhead.
