The road.cc Rideout is back! Book your free place and join the road.cc team for a ride and refreshments on 3 July 2026, departing from our Bath HQ

Cycling news outlet road.cc has announced the return of its popular Rideout event, scheduled for July 3, 2026, departing from their Bath headquarters. Participants are invited to join the road.cc team for a free, all-abilities road ride through the Somerset and Wiltshire hills, followed by refreshments. This marks the revival of a community engagement initiative, offering readers a direct interaction opportunity with the publication's staff.

This reintroduction of the road.cc Rideout signals a continued effort by cycling media to foster direct community ties, moving beyond purely digital interaction. In an increasingly fragmented media landscape, such events provide tangible value, strengthening brand loyalty and offering unique content opportunities. For road.cc, it’s a chance to reinforce its identity as a rider-centric platform, a strategy that often pays dividends in reader engagement and trust.

A free ride with refreshments, two years out? One might suggest road.cc is either exceptionally organised, or perhaps just testing the waters for long-term commitment from its readership. Either way, it's a pleasant diversion from the usual race calendar.
