Join the road.cc team for a ride around the Somerset countryside

Bikes, beer & pizza....it must be a road.cc rideout

Saturday 20th May sees the 2017 Tour Series arrive in Bath so we thought we'd make a weekend of all things cycling by planning a rideout from our office the day before (Friday 19th) and you're all invited.

If you've been on one of our rideouts before you'll know how much fun they are but if you haven't here is what to expect on the day;

  • Pre-ride coffee/tea and nibbles
  • Green Park Station Bike shop mechanics available for any fettling before the off
  • Choice of two routes led by the editorial team
  • Post-ride food and drinks
  • road.cc Schwagaway

These timings may change but we basically get together at our office for 11am for a bit of meet and greet where you'll be able to chat with the road.cc staff while taking a look at the current bikes we've got in on test.

After a quick rider briefing we'll head off through Bath towards the countryside for a couple of hours riding in the rolling hills of Somerset and Wiltshire. We always offer a couple of different routes, something like a 25-30 miler and a 35-40 miler, you decide which you want to ride on the day.

On arrival back at the office it'll be time to refuel where you'll find plenty to top up those empty legs, it's not unheard off for there to be a table full of fresh pizza and a fridge stacked with chilled beer and wine.

The only thing left to do is to see if luck is on your side when it comes to the Schwagaway, our lucky dip box full of cycling goodies.

It's all completely free too!

 

Places are limited so get yourself over to here and register, we'll see you there.  

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!
