road.cc LIVEFancy a day test riding top road bikes on a closed road circuit? Join us for road.cc live
How do you like the sound of an entire day spent trying out road bikes from Cube, Scott, Specialized, Canyon, Rose, Ribble and more? Would you also like to test the bikes unimpeded by traffic? Of course you would. Join us for the inaugural road.cc live event and you’ll be able to do just that.
Held on Sunday February 26, road.cc live will give you the chance to try out a whole range of bikes on the 1.5km Odd Down closed road circuit. We have exclusive use for the entire day. No traffic – just you, the latest bikes and clear tarmac.
Editorial staff from road.cc and our sister site ebiketips.co.uk will be on hand throughout with a number of electric city and mountain bikes available for testing too.
Tickets cost £30 but we’re also offering a limited number of early bird tickets at £20. These are available on a first-come first-served basis, so don’t hang about.
You can get your tickets here – and you’ll also get a goody bag with gifts from road.cc, Weldtite and more.
If Bath’s a bit too far to travel, have no fear. This is just the first of a whole series of road.cc live events that we’ll be running in 2017, so hopefully we’ll see you later in the year.
Thanks to Joolze Dymond for the pic
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

I've seen one on the back of a tandem, where it makes a lot of sense. https://www.tandemclassifieds.com/tandem_bikes_for_sale.php?bike=2023_10...

Newsworthy? Not a chance! According to the msm, the only way to treat illnesses is with expensive drugs: this won't get a mention.

I've now bought one. Too early to give a proper review, but so far I'm happy with it.

We'll keep you updated with a list of bikes when we get it from the brands. There's also an event scheduled for Dalby Forest on 17th June 2017.
Cheers D.D.
I like the motivational picture, summer attire for a February event
Like the idea, will wait to see how much snow we have first!
Before I order a ticket will there be anything for the vertically unchallenged amongst us?
I'm talking about 62, 64, 66 range of sizes. I have silly legs

Oh really *clicks* Odd Down, huh figures.
How do you deal with pedals? all spd sl or bring your own?
Bring your own pedals and shoes would be best for a great experience honesty. And if you know your saddle height, bring that too so we can get you properly setup
Ticket bought. Looking forward to it!
Hi guys, this sounds like a brilliant idea!
Will there be any TT bikes to try out? I don't know this circuit so not sure if TT bikes would be appropriate or not.
I'm considering getting one next year so an event like this where I could try a few out at the same time would be perfect.
Odd Down is a Great circuit super smooth surface newly laid but there are 2 180's at each end of the track which would need care for a TT machine. Accepting this it would give you a good course to try one on

Looking forward to your Scottish date
Another vote here for a Scottish date! (At Watford, straight on for 380 miles)
Alternatively, just pick up the M6 at Brum and then keep going until you reach a place called Glasgow.
If you ever come a bit more 'oop north', you can count me in!
