Write For Us

The Road Book is more than just cycling stats. Our stubbornly analgue hardback is packed with essays written by people who love the sport of cycling just as much as the entire Road Book team. 

We are incredibly proud that each year features a different selection of contributors and we have never featured the same writer twice no matter how big the name! This means our content is as fresh and forward thinking as possible. 

Want to get involved? Have an idea for an essay for next year? Our editor Ned Boulting is always open to pitches. Drop us a message with your pitch to office@theroadbook.co.uk and maybe next year you will be featured in the Red (or Blue) book.
