It's nearly a year ago since the team road.cc crew headed up to Sheffield for a rideout and we must have been well behaved because Decathlon have invited us back for another go.

Being situated just a few miles from the Peak District the area lends itself well to some challenging riding and excellent scenery so the guys at Decathlon are going to come up with a couple of routes. The usual 25-30 miles for the shorter and 35-40 miles for the longer version and if you haven't been on one of our rideouts before then the best way to describe them is a friendly club run basically.

 

We'll have ride leaders and back markers for each ride and everyone is looked after and kept within the group.

The plan is to meet up at Decathlon by 9am for coffee on Sunday 2nd October with a quick rider briefing to follow at 9:30. We'll then depart on whichever route you choose before returning for more refreshments and socialising. Every rider that turns up will also receive a goody bag from Decathlon.

Interested?

 

Then get your name down here, we have limited spaces so don't hang about and it's all completely free!!

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.

Perhaps head over to Monsal Hill Climb?

http://www.monsalhillclimb.org.uk/entry_details.html

Some would say it's the best HC event other than Nationals from a spectators side of things. Regular riders include the Downing brothers, Graham Briggs, Jessie walker, Dame Sarah Storey, Adam Blythe and there is talk of Ben Swift having a bang this year. Course record is held by Malcolm Elliott (Google him if you don't know who this legend is)

You might even get to see me race indecision

I promise it's well worth a watch and there are loads of cafes and pubs about for the usual Sunday cycling munchies.
