What's been happening in the team road.cc members area?

Live Q&A with the road.cc tech team, revolve24, rideouts.......all because you're a team road.cc member...

The .cc part of road.cc stands for cycling club, team road.cc to be precise and since its inception last year we've certainly had some fun with our members. We've had rideouts, taken part in a 24hr endurance event, given away free carbon wheels  and now we're offering a live Q&A with our technical team.    

 

revolve24

Revolve24 race report - pre race team 3.jpg

team road.cc were invited to the inaugural revolve24 event at the Brands Hatch race circuit and we took four members with us to make up a team of six for a 24hr relay. 

A motley crew of riders who'd never met each other spent about thirty-six hours together in a concrete pit garage talking tactics, eating bacon rolls and huddling around a four bar electric fire. To say we bonded was an understatement. 

The fact that we finished third in our group with 467.136 miles and 192 laps was the icing on the cake.

Live 'Tech Talk'  

UCI Technical Regulations (diag)

Our Technical Editors spend hours and hours trawling the bike shows plus meeting manufacturers and distributors all over the world. A wealth of knowledge that we're sharing with our members on a fortnightly basis in our live Tech Talk. 

The next one is this Friday, the 5th of Feb with Dave Atkinson at the helm from 12-2pm answering queries about thru-axles, disc brakes or those 'Campag or Shimano' classics.

team road.cc rideouts  

Team road.cc Winchester ride out - guess the shop we met at.jpg

Our team road.cc rideouts are free to all but we can only take limited numbers so if you are a member you get first shout on a place once registration opens.

So far we've been to Sheffield, New Forest, Winchester, Swindon and Oxford with Chichester up next with a trip out from road.cc HQ to follow.

We plan a couple of routes and bung in plenty of coffee and cake for a great morning out on the bike, we also dish out some free kit!!

Schwagaway

Clubroost FCR50 Full Carbon Clincher 1011spd wheelset

Not only do we dish out free kit to one lucky member every Friday, we also have our big promotions. The latest being a set of £600 Club Roost carbon fibre wheels. All our members had to do was stick their name down to be pulled out of the electronic hat.

We've got plenty more in the pipeline.

Not bad for a £14.95 yearly subscription eh?

Italy Week  

Italy Week 2016

Fancy treating yourself to a little early season training week in the sun?

Our members get a 10% discount at the Hotel Belvedere in Riccione so why not use it for our Italy week. We're there between the 9th and 16th of April so why not come out and ride with us. 

Our editors will be out there testing bikes and mixing it on the daily rides. We certainly had a beautiful time when we were out there last time.

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.
