Merlin and Quoc are getting together this August for a ride, Rivington Brewery beer and an opportunity to try some of their shoes. Here’s why you should be there and what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quoc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Quoc are a cycling footwear brand that value both functionality and comfort in their products. Some of their shoes include the Gran Tourer XC Off Road and the M3 Pros which focus on road cycling. Both feature carbon composite soles and adjustable dials which contribute to the high quality standard that Quoc maintain throughout their range of products. Competitive pricing tops this shoewear brand off as one to seriously consider as your next purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 5pm start at Rivington Brewery kicks of the social with opportunity to try on a pair of Quoc’s shoes before the official ride start at 6pm. The route is to take place around Rivington, a keen favourite place to ride for many of us here at Merlin. Spanning a total distance of 14 km, the ride involves a variety of scenery and takes you through the best of what the area has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return to the Brewery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The riders can finish their ride back at the brewery with another opportunity to try on shoes. Should they take this opportunity, they’ll receive an exclusive offer on a pair of Quoc shoes. Not to mention with every rider who participates in the ride, a free pint of select beers is on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Quoc and Merlin on Wednesday 6th August from 5pm for an opportunity to find your next pair of riding shoes at the address below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivington Brewery, Home Farm, Horrobin Lane, Rivington, Lancashire. PR6 9HE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
