This coming Bank Holiday weekend sees the New Forest host the Big Bike Bash with loads of cycling events for all ages and tastes so it sounds the perfect place for team road.cc to spend a couple of days. We've got a stand where you can come and chat to us about the website and our club membership, more importantly though we're running a Treasure Hunt within the grounds of the Avon Tyrell Outdoor Activity Centre in Bransgore.

 

It's open to all Big Bike Bash ticket holders and the free registration opens at noon on Saturday from the road.cc stand (we'll be next door to British Cycling) where you can pick up your map and instructions. The actual treasure hunt takes place on the Sunday (you can enter throughout the day on Sunday too) and involves finding various clocks around the venue and taking 'selfies' for a chance to win one of five road.cc hampers full of cycling related goodies.

The five categories are -

  • Fastest team
  • Fastest solo
  • Fastest family
  • Slowest entry
  • Best photo posted to social media

 

Every family that enters also goes into a prize draw to win free entry for next years event worth £150!!

 

We'll see you at the weekend, well, if you've already got tickets as unfortunately the event has completely sold out.

As part of the tech team here at F-At Digital, senior product reviewer Stu spends the majority of his time writing in-depth reviews for road.cc, off-road.cc and ebiketips using the knowledge gained from testing over 1,500 pieces of kit (plus 100's of bikes) since starting out as a freelancer back in 2009. After first throwing his leg over a race bike back in 2000, Stu's ridden more than 170,000 miles on road, time-trial, track, and gravel bikes, and while he's put his racing days behind him, he still likes to smash the pedals rather than take things easy. With a background in design and engineering, he has an obsession with how things are developed and manufactured, has a borderline fetish for handbuilt metal frames and finds a rim braked road bike very aesthetically pleasing!

Not really -  Just a load of jumped up journo's looking for some "click-bait"

 

Avon Tyrell is great - but not for anything road related. I love taking my MTB over there and having a blast around the single tracks and a rip on the North Shore/Pump Track, a great facility to have hidden away in the middle of the Forest!

The big bike bash, at least in previous years (and again by the look of this years agenda), has not exactly catered for road cyclists in any way or form... Certainly a great family event if people would like to keep their kids busy, whilst still getting their 2-wheeled fill!

I'll pop over f I have the chance as I only live a few miles away... see you there, maybe!

Indeed. One can only wonder at the sort of bashing they would like to give bikes in the New Forest.
