roadcc socks white 7road.cc festive sock competition: leave a comment for your chance to win TWO pairs of road.cc socks in time for Christmas!
Christmas socks? Get out of town, you want some genuine road.cc argyle socks is what you want!
As it's coming up to Christmas and we love most of you, this week's sock comp is a bit special... we're going to be picking THREE winners on Thursday morning at 10am, and each one will get one pair of black and one pair of white socks each. Because we're cheapskates usually they get posted 2nd class, but we'll even stretch to 1st this time and get them in the post before midday so you get them in time for the 25th... unless you're unfortunate enough to have a very dishonest postie with a penchant for high quality patterned cycling socks.
So what are you waiting for, simply post a comment below (keep it clean-ish please!) and be in with a chance of waking up on Christmas morning safe in the knowledge that your life is exactly the same as before, but just with two extra pairs of socks in your draw. Your deadline for posting a comment is 9:59 am on Thursday 20th December, and we'll post a comment with the names of all the winners and instructions to claim your prize shortly after the deadline. It's advisable to bookmark this article and turn your comment notifications on so you can reply to us with a delivery address and we can get them in the post in time. UK entries only and shoes not included (we ain't made of money)... best of luck!
*Double your odds of winning by entering this Facebook sock comp too... simply like the post to be in with a chance!

He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

Thank you in advance !
The wake up call for my Grandad’s regiment in the Army
“HANDS OFF C###S!
FEET IN SOCKS!”
These were, er, look great on my, you know, feet like
Yes please.
Thank you in advance for making my Xmas!
New socks to wear on a late shift on Xmas day .. Reasons to be cheerful .. 1...2....(3)
Count me in please.
I've got a pair of these already, are they're quality. More please!
Socks please, we're British
you can never have to many pairs of socks
Socks... Why'd it have to be socks?
(size 11, please)
Yes please, is this possibly a test run for the return of the 'swag grab' for 2019????
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Size 10 please.
Yes please
you can never have too many pairs of socks. Yes please.
yes please
Goodness knows I need socks.. it's possible MrsD is exacting an excruciating revenge for a lack of hoovering on my part or possibly my indifference the delights of TKMaxx.. by purposely losing or destroying each pair I own... one sock at a time.. If I want a matching pair for work, I'm left with four options; scratchy R2D2 ones, The Muppets, some oversized 'one size fits all' pair from a gift set (hint, 'one size' does not 'fit all' by any means)... or the ones I have on today with palm trees.
So roll on Christmas day I say, someone 'must' have brought me some socks surely.... OR I can enter this comp to win these beauties!
some christmas socks i would actually appreciate.
I'm sure there's a clever joke (something "Meta" or "Post modern" or whatever) about wanting some Socks to put in my stocking...but I can't think of it, so I'll just say "Yes please!"
Yes pleasy!
Reminds me of the time I dated a dyslexic woman - she ended up cooking my sock.
Edit: found a better sock joke:
A Mexican man who spoke no English went into a department store to buy socks. He found his way to the menswear department where a young lady offered to help him.
"Quiero calcetines," said the man.
"I don't speak Spanish, but we have some very nice suits over here," said the saleswoman.
"No, no quiero trajes. Quiero calcetines," said the man.
"Well, these shirts are on sale this week," declared the saleswoman.
"No, no quiero camisas. Quiero calcetines," repeated the man.
"I still don't know what you're trying to say. We have some fine pants on this rack," offered the saleswoman.
"No, no quiero pantalones. Quiero calcetines," insisted the man.
"These sweaters are top quality," the saleswoman probed.
"No, no quiero sueter. Quiero calcetines," said the man.
"Our undershirts are over here," fumbled the saleswoman, beginning to lose patience.
"No, no quiero camisetas. Quiero calcetines," the man repeated.
As they passed the underwear counter, the man spotted a display of socks and happily grabbed a pair. Holding them up he proclaimed, "Eso sí que es!"
"Why didn't you just spell it in the first place?!" yelled the saleswoman.
Sock it to me!
No, sock them to me...
size 8, ta
You can't have too many socks !
Afternoon all.
What is Christmas without a pair or two of socks...
PS
I have been a very good boy all year and done plenty of miles
I would like to say that will improve your chances of winning, but I'm afraid the random number generator cares not! Very best of luck though Sir.
Santa, baby
Stick some socks under the tree
