NO ROAD RIDE TOMORROW ! DUE TO SNOW

 

Unfortunatly due to the very bad snow we have had over the past 24 hours we will not be doing a road ride from the shop tomorrow morning for obvious reasons. I guess it's a good excuse to get out on the MTB for some snow fun!

The shop ride will continue again starting January the 2nd 2011. (weather permitting)

In the mean time we hope you all have a good Xmas and New Year and that you don't eat or drink too much!

P.S Don't forget to join us in 'Somewhere else' this evening for a drink :)

Thanks

Prototype Ride 24/7 Kit Design for 2011 !

This is just an idea we have come up with for 2011. In addition to the original design we have added 'Cycle Shop Cirencester' underneath the main Ride 24/7 print.

Just to make it slightly different for next year we were considering having a red band around the sleeve of the jersey and bottom of the shorts, also round the middle (as seen on the picture above).

This is far from definite but would like people's opinions on the kit and we are also open to suggestions of how to make the kit better.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks
Ride 24/7.

*****Don't Forget Our Demo Evening on the 29th of October*****

12/10-2010 - Last Tuesday Evening Road Ride Of The Year !

As you may know, tonight will be our last Tuesday evening road ride from the shop as it's getting too dark to continue them.

We are considering moving them to a Sunday morning depending on numbers of people willing to come (will find out the amount of interest later).

For tonight's ride, meet at the shop at 6:00pm and we shall try get an hour or so in so you will need lights.

A big thanks from us to all of you that have been coming along on our rides since we started them, many months ago.

Hope to see you all later and enjoy our last ride.

Road Racer Mudguard MK2 - rrp £29.99

The Crud Roadracer Mudguard Pair. After a decade in the mountain bike market Mr Crud has now set his mind to work on the road bike market. The Road Racer is the latest ultra-light mudguard for road bikes.

Innovative fitting system allows the Road Racer to be fitted on bikes with exceptionally close clearance where traditional mudguards simply won't go. Incredibly flexible plastic blade and breakaway fittings prevent a wheel locking should a foreign object get caught between the mudguard and the wheel or frame. In-built and replaceable pile brushes allow the guard to 'hover' close to the tyre without rubbing, and negate the need for tough, heavy fittings and keeps the mudguard guard central over the wheel. Minimalist design looks good on even the most high end of rigs and weighing in at only 180grams a pair!

These mudguards are ideal for those Tuesday evening road rides when it's wet so everybody doesn't get a horrible spray off of your wheel ! ! !

In stock at Ride 24/7 and only £29.99 a pair.

05/10/2010 Tuesday Evening Road Ride*

 

As always our road ride will be on this evening, meet at the shop at 6:00pm but unfortunately the weather is no where near as good as yesterday so im guessing rain coats will be needed!

Also if possible you could bring lights as it is usually dark by the time we get back to the shop. The ride shall be around 20-25 miles and route is: from the shop down the Fairford road,turn right into Meysey Hampton,Down Ampney, to South Cerney,Somerford Keynes then through Ewen and back through the Industrial Estate.

Hope to see you all later.

Thanks.

 

29th of October - Wilier/Tacx Demo Evening ! ! !
