Team road.cc Winchester ride out.jpgFebruary rideouts - ride with team road.cc in Chichester or Bath
The team road.cc rideout in Swindon was a great morning out on the bike and we're looking to build on that over the coming months. As far as February goes we've got a couple of rides planned for the end of the month so get your name down and come and ride with us.
Chichester
First up is Chichester in a couple of weeks, Sunday 21st February to be precise with the team from Hargroves Cycles laying on the hospitality for us once again. They certainly lay on a decent spread post ride.
Club member Ian Upham is dealing with the routes and we'll be making them public soon. Things will follow the same format as Swindon with a couple of routes, the shorter being suitable for the novice rider with the longer being run at a slightly quicker pace. Either way though we only run at the speed of the slowest rider so don't fear - we won't be leaving you on your tod at any point.
I'll be there too with a box of kit to give away - Schwag!!
Entry is free and you can register here.
Bath
On Friday 26th February at 2pm we're arranging a rideout from the road.cc HQ in Bath so why not get your name down and come and see the engine room of your favourite cycling website.
Our editors will be knocking about showing off some of the latest kit in for test and there'll be plenty of coffee and cake on offer pre and post ride plus. We're bound to be able to dig out a bit more free Schwag as well.
We're also lining up a few special treats for you........full details will be revealed very soon!!
Like Swindon we've got a couple of routes planned for a few hours of riding out in the lanes of Somerset and beyond, we'll probably even chuck in a cafe stop too before returning back to the office.
If you fancy it register here and as always it's completely free.
We'll be back with full details soon.
team road.cc:
Our team road.cc rideouts are free to all but we can only take limited numbers so if you are a member you get first shout on a place once registration opens.
So far we've been to Sheffield, New Forest, Winchester, Swindon and Oxford with many more planned around the country
Since writing his first bike review for road.cc back in early 2009 senior product reviewer Stu has tested more than a thousand pieces of kit, and hundreds of bikes.
With an HND in mechanical engineering and previous roles as a CNC programmer/machinist, draughtsman and development engineer (working in new product design) Stu understands what it takes to bring a product to market. A mix of that knowledge combined with his love of road and gravel cycling puts him in the ideal position to put the latest kit through its paces.
He first made the switch to road cycling in 1999, primarily for fitness, but it didn’t take long for his competitive side to take over which led to around ten years as a time triallist and some pretty decent results. These days though riding is more about escapism, keeping the weight off and just enjoying the fact that he gets to ride the latest technology as part of his day job.
Fair enough, personal experience may trump (not that one) theory. However, the bonking I have experienced has been due to lack of carbs. Your point...
Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.
I'm not a Lance fan at all but the snarky tone of this is just dumb....
Weird - it was there earlier.
mdavidfrodo?
How can anybody reject the beauty of that? It's a wonderful mix of modern tech yet absolutely functional.
Not unless theVED is made eye wateringly expensive....
in the UK we have policing which to a greater or lesser extent relies on assistance from members of the public......
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to everyone who helped out in this thread....
So...don't cycle on it. Lots of other routes around that area. Source: I used to work there.
