Last Call - Oxford rideout, 17th April

Fancy a ride? We'll meet you at Decathlon, Oxford, 17th April for a spin...

One of our first ever #teamroadcc rideouts took place at the Decathlon store in Oxford and we've been invited back - tech ed Dave Arthur obviously made a good first impression!

 

The staff from the French sports superstore chain proved how good an event they can put on at both Oxford and then their Sheffield store back at the end of October with a stunning route and great hospitality, although we played our part too - after all, who was it that brought all that free schwagaway eh? 

This time round we'll have a couple of routes on offer being run at different paces to keep things as sociable as possible. They're be a coffee stop too so make sure you bring some change for tea and cake.

We normally roll out about 9am after a quick coffee or three and get back around three hours later for more coffee, nibbles and our free giveaway from the schwag box.

The whole emphasis is on a club riding mentality so it is just really a sociable morning out on the bike with fellow road.cc readers - I'll be there too leading one of the rides.

We'll be back with full details soon regarding exact routes and things but if you fancy getting your name down then register here, it's free and we've still got a few places left.

 

Hopefully we'll see you there - #teamroadcc

 

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.
