Join road.cc for a St. Patricks Day ride from our Bath HQ tomorrow

Let the road.cc editorial team take you for a spin through the lanes around the city.

We're kicking off the road.cc rideout season tomorrow the 17th March (yes, St Patrick's Day so bring some shamrock) from our office in Bath. If you haven't booked your place yet and you'd like to come we've got some good news we're laying on some extra last minute ride spots just follow this link to reserve your plcace (it's free). 

We love having you guys and girls coming in for a bit of a meet and greet with the team and taking a look behind the scenes of the website. You'll be able to get a glimpse of what kit we're currently testing and the editorial staff will be kicking around to answer any questions you may have.

So what are we offering?

As always we'll be laying on refreshments before and after the ride so you certainly  won't find yourself going hungry, the last rideout involved plenty of freshly made pizzas washed down with cool beers. This ride being on St Patrick's Day though we'll probably be chucking in some Irish treats too, Guinness anyone?

For every rider completing the ride there will be the chance to dunk your hand into the box of random cycling bits and bobs, also known as the road.cc schwagaway!

These times may change a little but for now our plan is this...

Our briefing will be at 11.30am where we'll introduce you to the ride leaders and any other details you may need to know. Don't worry it won't be anything too regimented as we're a pretty relaxed lot here at road.cc, it'll just be your usual club run stuff.

We'll also have mechanics on hand for any quick bike checks should you need it.

Come noon we'll be departing the road.cc HQ for a couple of hours of riding. Depending on numbers and abilities we'll probably split into a couple of groups offering a longer and shorter route, normally about 25-30 miles for the short and 35-40 for the longer of the two. You'll be emailed with the route details in the week previous to the ride so that you can choose which one you want to do on the day.

That's it basically, a fun day eating, drinking, riding and chatting so if you fancy it head over to the registration page here to get your name down. Places are limited mind so don't hang about. 

 

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.

A grand St Patrick's day to you all. Up here in London I'm planning to pedal to the South Bank food fair behind the Festival Hall and see what stouts they have at the Hop Locker.
