rideout july 19Join us for road.cc's Grand Depart Rideout on 5th July... and bag some free custom Boa dials!
On the eve of the Tour de France Grand Depart, we'll be celebrating the best way we know how without actually been there... heading out for a ride of course, and you're all invited!
Click here to reserve your FREE ticket for the Grand Depart Rideout on Friday 5th July
We'll be fully getting into Le Tour spirit on Friday 5th July (albeit from our head office in Bath) meeting at around 11am in Green Park Station and departing at 12 noon for to take in some of the lovely hills and landscapes in our locale... hopefully while the sun is shining! The loop will be 25-30 miles in length, and we'll have plenty of road.cc staffers on hand to make sure no one gets left behind with a minimum of two pace groups.
We'll also have Boa Fit System coming to visit to help you dial in your shoes before you ride. Not only will they be offering advice, but they will also be giving away some cool coloured dials so you can match them up to suit your shoes.
Nutrition will be provided by NamedSport, who you may have seen fuelling the Giro d'Italia this year (they are also a headline Tour de France sponsor for 2019). We'll leave them to look after you with pre-ride nutrition such as gels, energy bars and drinks, and post-ride we'll take over with plenty of pizza, cake and a cheeky beer or two for your recovery fuel!
Just in case you missed that big old link to book your free ticket further up the page, do click here to visit the event page and get your ticket for free. Places are limited with only 80 tickets available and we're expecting a sellout, so book yours now before it's too late and we'll see you on Friday 5th July!
Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
I'll send you my bank details.
As a bike courier I had a left hand turning car cross my path while I was roaring on a call. As I flipped endover in the air I felt my bag, a full...
Yep Times Square is more Piccadilly Circus as a comparison. They mean 5th Avenue imo, though Regents St would argue they're already that equivalent...
Well, there's the aqueduc... er, no... Sanitatio... hmm... Roads - that's it - what about the roads?
Was expecting more appreciation for this comment; a different choice of "classics" now?
Haha what a joke. The so called protesters was a small group of mainly elderly women, one was 96 and 1 was disabled, who spent about an hour...
If there wasn't a bike attached to it I'm not sure I'd realise what it was.
In the interests of accuracy, you're allowed to be in the EU/Schengen for 90 days in 180, not necessarily to work there. For that, a suitable...
I enjoyed it a few years back but now stupidly expensive and unjustifiable when money is tight, as it is for many now. So not surprising they can...
Good to know, Matthew. Thnku. If I get 17 years out of these Fulcrum wheels I shall be a very happy octogenarian!!! 😂🥳 If I get 10 years out of...
