LondonCycleSport.com has announced it will hold its first "RideDay" consumer event on the 22nd February 2009 at the Hog Hill circuit, London’s newest cycling facility.
So far seven London and South East retailers will be at Hog Hill offering LondonCycleSport readers the chance to try a large selection of bikes and brands on Hog Hills purpose built road and off-road circuits. Confirmed retailers in attendance: Mosquito Bikes, Cyclefit, Cycle Surgery, TriandRun, Bike & Run and Cycles Dauphin.
Other attractions based in and around the new pavilion will include, Rollapaluza’s roller rigs, who will be giving the public a chance to compete in a time trial competition. Cyclefilm and Cycle Surgery will also be screening a selection of DVD’s, to include "L’etape du Tour 2009 Recon" and The Collective titles.
Directors Simon Ormesher and John Mullineaux of O&M Media, the company recently set up to publish LondonCycleSport independently, commented that: "in the teeth of recession and the depth of winter it was the natural time to think of doing the best kind of bike show."
Michael Humphreys, who played a major role in the drive for the new facilities to support the cycle sport scene in London, is handling operations and making sure this first event is a success for all involved.
LondonCycleSport hs arranged free entry for its pre-registered readers to the circuit with changing rooms, showers, café, seating, and ample parking.
