And the winners are!! We announce the team road.cc Red Bull Timelaps Squad & dhb kit winners

We name the four riders who'll compete at 'the world's longest day race' as part of team road.cc including free entry and a dhb kit bundle...

We have been lucky enough to grab one of the team places for the now sold out Red Bull Timelaps and we've randomly selected four riders to fly the flag for team road.cc from all of you that entered. Not only do you get free entry into the race, you'll also receive a bundle of the latest All Weather clothing courtesy of wiggle's in house brand dhb.

And the winners are............

Thank you to everyone who entered to take part by commenting on the story and this was by far the largest interest we've ever seen for a day long race. From the sixty odd riders we've randomly selected the four we need who are;

  1.  @JoshOwenMorris
  2.  @ChrisB200sx
  3.  @jterrier
  4.  @Goldfever4

You should each have an email from Stu Kerton in your inbox now providing you with all the details about what to do next. 

 

What is Timelaps?      

"Spring forward, Fall back," goes the American saying about which way to adjust your clocks, watches and sundry other timekeeping devices twice a year. And the clocks going back in October provides the inspiration behind a new event, the Red Bull Timelaps, which will take place in Windsor Great Park and is claimed to be "the world's longest one-day bike race" - because it spans 25 hours.

Starting on midday on Saturday 28 October and finishing at noon the following day, the event will see up to 150 teams of four riders take on a 6.6 kilometre closed circuit inside the park in the shadow of Windsor Castle in Berkshire.

Only one rider from each team will be allowed on the circuit at a time, meaning that "participants will have to demonstrate a mixture of strategic nous, endurance and determination to overcome the challenge."

The winner will be the team completing most laps within the 25 hours - and to spice things up, laps completed on a special shorter circuit during a 'Power Hour' starting when the clocks go back at  2am will count double.

 

 

 

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.

I may regret this, but, count me in.
6 and a bit hours each of riding should be fairly full on.

Was car doored on Thursday, out of hospital yesterday, had to withdraw from all my hill climbs, at a loss of what to do with myself. This might give a bit of focus!

Can't ride it, but I live nearby so I'm hoping to pop by and support. I'll bring you some biscuits.
