Upcoming team road.cc rideout dates announced

Free entry, some cake, a schwag giveaway and even a bit of cycling - get your name down for a road.cc rideout

Since the launch of team road.cc we've been running our rideouts from various parts of the country joined by a few hundred of you so far for nibbles, plenty of coffee and some very sociable riding in and around the towns, cities and villages of the UK. Well okay England as we haven't quite managed to get across the borders yet but we are coming, promise.

What's a road.cc rideout?

Well, that 'cc' bit there at the end of road.cc stands for cycling club, which in our case is team road.cc and the rideouts are effectively our club runs. You don't need to be a member to ride with us but you do get a lot of extra benefits by joining - take a look at what we've been up to here.

Most of the events have either been from our Bath HQ or hosted by some of the well known cycling retailers which have included Cycle Surgery, Hargroves Cycles and Decathlon helping out with ride leaders and route planning which means the road.cc team can concentrate on the riding and having a chat with you lot.

The basic plan is we meet up, have some coffee and cake before a quick rider briefing to decide who's riding which route, we normally lay on two - a short one and a long one. The pace isn't anything too manic with the usual club etiquette of no one getting left behind respected.

After a midway cafe stop we head back to the HQ to consume more coffee and snacks before the practically legendary road.cc Schwagaway begins. All finishers basically get entered into the draw to choose some free cycling goodies.

Oh, it's all free too! All you have to do is register by clicking on the links for each event below.

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.

Would be interested in the Bath rideouts if they were at the weekend rather than weekdays.
