rideout-xmasroad.cc Festive Rideout free ticket giveaway
What better way to start the count down to Christmas than to get yourself a free ticket for the 2018 edition of our Festive rideout on Friday 7th December.
Departing from road.cc HQ in central Bath at noon we’ll escape the festive lights and navigate through the Christmas shoppers for a 30 mile ride out into the wintery countryside to take in the scenery and the odd hill or two. There will be at least two groups travelling around the route at various speeds so there will definitely be one for you whatever your level.
This should hopefully fire up your appetite ready for the freshly cooked pizzas, mince pies, beer and of course mulled wine on offer when we arrive back at the office. It is party season after all.
Even Santa will be chipping in with a huge sack full of cycling goodies in our special Christmas Schwagaway, we can’t promise that you’ll be allowed to sit on his knee though.
Fancy a bit of that?
Well we’ve got 100 tickets to give away and all you need to do is select the number of tickets below and click checkout or go here to our Bikelive website to get yourself registered.
The details
We'll meet from 11am, have a briefing 11.45am, and depart at 12 noon.
- When - Friday 7th December, 11am
- Where - road.cc HQ, Green Park Station, Bath, BA1 1JB
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.
“Pandering to the few that don’t even pay to be on the roads” Do pepole really still say this and expect to be taken seriously?
