RideStaffs Joins the PAU Family – Entries for 2026 Events Now Open
1 – A New Chapter Begins: RideStaffs Becomes Part of PAU
We’re thrilled to announce that RideStaffs is now officially part of PAU, joining forces with a wider team to bring even more brilliant cycling experiences to riders in Staffordshire and beyond. As part of this move, entries for our 2026 events will now be handled via PAU.co.uk — and we’re proud to say that our rides now form a key part of the PAU Cycling Series.
2 – What This Means for You as a Rider
Becoming part of PAU means we can offer an even better experience to our riders — from improved sign-up and event info to being part of a larger, connected calendar of rides around Staffordshire. The energy and local knowledge you love from RideStaffs stays the same, but with the added support and polish that PAU brings. Whether you’re a regular or new to our rides, it’s a great time to get involved.
3 – The Events, the Dates, and Where to Sign Up
In 2026, Staffordshire riders can look forward to three distinctive events, now all under the PAU umbrella:
- Spring Forward – Sunday 19th April 2026
A smooth, road-based ride to kick off the season. It’s ideal for testing the legs and shaking off the winter cobwebs on classic Staffordshire lanes. - Gravel Ride: Made of Stone – Sunday 28th June 2026
A dedicated gravel ride through the hidden bridleways, back lanes and trails that criss-cross the north of the county. The name might be a pun, but this is a serious ride for gravel fans looking for a mix of challenge and scenery. - Sandon Century – Sunday 20th September 2026
Our late-season road sportive, covering a 100km loop through some of the prettiest countryside in the region. A great way to round out your season.
4 – What You Should Do Now
If you’ve ridden with us before, now’s the time to be part of something even bigger. If you’re new to RideStaffs or PAU, this is your chance to join a growing community of riders tackling some of the best routes in the UK. Pick your favourite event — or go all-in and ride the full Staffordshire trio — and we’ll see you on the start line.
The other piece of good news is that at the time of posting this (3rd Nov 2025) there’s an early bird discount for individual events AND a further discount if you enter all three rides right now.
