Cycle Republic Logo.pngCome and ride with team road.cc in London
We're heading back down south for our next rideout after being in Sheffield a few weeks ago. This time we've teamed up with Cycle Republic to host a ride from their store in South London so if you're free on Sunday, 13th November then get your name down and we'll see you there.
For the time being at least the majority of Cycle Republic stores are in Central London but we are visiting the suburbs and going south of the river to their Purley, Croydon shop.
It may be our first colaboration with Cycle Republic but the layout will still be pretty familiar. A meet up at around 9am for coffee and snacks before a rider briefing at 9:30am sets us up for the day.
Cycle Republic will be laying on the ride leaders who have plenty of local knowledge to take us round the route with two groups being on offer travelling at different speeds. You can decide on the day which one you fancy being part of.
Like any good club run there will be a midway cafe stop for cake and banter and on our return to the store we'll dish out the goodies in our road.cc Schwagaway for every finisher.
What's not to like?

Date: 13/11/16
Time: 9am
Where: Cycle Republic, 20 Russell Hill Rd, Purley, CR8 2LA
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.
