Ride It! logo.jpgThis weekend's Evans Cycles Ride It! event at Chieveley is OFF due to snow
Evans Cycles has told us that its Chieveley Ride It! Event, due to take place this weekend, has fallen victim to the weather and has had to be cancelled.
With Southern England currently resembling a scene from the movie The Day After Tomorrow – minus the marauding pack of wolves, hopefully – and more snow forecast for the weekend, news of the cancellation comes as little surprise, and Evans has said that riders who have pre-entered will be contacted and their entry fees refunded.
The decision was taken due to safety reasons, and further information can be found on the Ride It! Blog, which has full details of the year-round series of sportive and off-road rides.
The next event in the Ride It! Series is due to take place at Rochdale in Lancashire at the end of this month, and further events are scheduled throughout the year – we’ve flagged up February’s event at Sandown Park before on road.cc, if you fancy having a crack at either of those, assuming the country isn’t buried under 20 feet of snow by then.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Why do you think that cyclists complaining about allowing every minicab and Uber to hare along the bus lanes, is being "entitled"?
Ah yes, just spotted where "performance line" is quoted on the website. Couldn't see any that fall into both 'evolution' and 'performance' line...
Road tubeless? Worst upgrade I ever made, hoping when I get round to trying over Xmas that I can get the new (non-tubeless, so hopefully a slacker...
TRP cable-actuated hydraulic calipers, haven't tried them myself but reviews generally rate them as better than cable-only brakes such as Sora. I...
Thanks for your input, ride safe!
And we can be sure that Police Scotland would be similarly disinterested...
The self-professed cyclists are really self-claimed cyclists of the 'I'm a cyclist myself' variety
They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
You can get the Varia for £10 less from Decathlon.
Perhaps they should apply the same standard to dangerous, unsafe, poorly designed roads and COMPLETELY rip them out rather than "fix" or "redesign"...
