We announce the Canyon comp winners for our Tour of Britain rideout

Three lucky readers get to ride brand new Canyon's to watch the Tour of Britain...

On Thursday September 8th the Tour of Britain's stage 5 will come to its climactic end in the city of Bath which just so happens to be the home of road.cc HQ. That got us thinking, how do we celebrate such an event?

Well we invited Canyon Bikes along and they've chosen three of you to get the chance to ride some of their brand new fleet and watch the race.

 The lucky few are -

  • Karen Whyte who gets to ride the lovely Ultimate
  • Nik Browne who'll pilot the very quick Aeroad
  • Sam-Jared Coventry that gets to try out the spanking new Endurace CF SLX Disc....

Congratulations guys and girls, we hope you enjoy yourselves whatever route you choose.

 

For the rest of us that have to ride our own bikes we've got a couple of routes planned, a 43km short circuit to catch the race at Kelston...........

​ or the epic route crossing the border into Wales to watch the race in two places, firstly Tintern and then again as it passes through Pucklechurch on your way back to road.cc HQ.

Both rides will be preceded by coffee and nibbles at the office before departure with pizza and beer available on our return, not a bad club run, eh? 

 

If you fancy it you'd best get your name down here then as we have a couple of places left.

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.
