Team road.cc Winchester ride out.jpgteam road.cc club ride - Royal Leamington Spa
Over in the Member's Section we've got a competition running to see who can organise the best team road.cc club ride for fellow members and local riders. We're offering the winners and runner uppers plenty of kit for their efforts so we're expecting some impressive results.
First up is Pete Davies (peted76) and he has obviously got his eye on the prize. He's already got a route planned, roped in the help of his local club and booked a gazebo.
Read on to find out what he's got planned.
Pete (that's him leading out revolve24 above) has devised a route which leaves Leamington Spa and heads for the 'Wilds of South Warickshire' - his words!
The 54 mile route is described as lumpy but without any huge climbs plus if the weather is good you should be treated to some rather stunning scenery.
He's put his delegating cap on and roped in some of his local club members from the Royal Leamington Spa Cycling Club who are going to help out providing ride leaders for the varying group levels - Pete is obviously expecting some big numbers!
Pete says the club's philosophy is, "come one, come all, with the aim of welcoming riders of all abilities and putting people in touch with other like-minded people. So whether you are a nervous newcomer, a banzai baggy-shorter or a racing roadie, you're welcome!"
Just like team road.cc then so you'll be very well looked after regardless of your ability.
Mid-ride you'll find a cafe stop plus the kettle will be on overtime when you get back to the shop to finish. There is even a mention of some biscuits too.
Let's get behind Pete and make his ride a success by registering here.
Ride Details:
The start and finish is here -
Giant Leamington Spa
75 Clarendon Street
Royal Leamington Spa
CV32 4PW
Meet at 8:45am for a 9:00am roll out.
Saturday April 2nd
Fancy joining team road.cc? Take a look here for all of the benefits on offer.
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 had three different cyclocross bikes before the marketing departments at various bicycle companies came up with the "gravel" category. All of...
Maybe the UK could try to reach some sort of agreement with the EU over things like international trade and such.
Cumbria County Council was a 1974 creation, merging the of old County Borough of Carlisle, and counties of Cumberland, and Westmorland - in which...
If BC want to insist on barriers then they should have their own stock loaded on a truck that they can rent out to organisers at reasonable cost,...
Well, there's lifetime bans and there's lifetime bans. Banning an 88 year old don't impress me much.
I think that is why blind eyes have been turned in the UK, internationally aswell, with things like the Redhook crits, there were many licensed...
Ahem - other esporters(?) might be rather surprised to hear that the UCI has taken over their events - I think that would be the Cycling Esports...
I wonder how he got to the game?
You'd need some good wet weather gear for that ride too.
It seems to me that the most likely explanation is that whoever provided that quote fails to grasp the difference between a "public right of way"...
