Hi all

I know many of you love trying out / testing new bikes and different brands.

Well get prepared as this coming January, Specialized are organising one of the biggest demo / Test the Best events ever !

Based on rider feedback from previous events Specialized are planning to offer a more complete and enhanced rider experience than we have ever seen before. Great news for us all.

Planning is still being finalised but lock the following dates into your calendars.

On Saturday the 10th of January Specialized will be at Ourimbah (complete with vehicle shuttle option for some enduro / downhill riding) and Sunday 11th January at Old Man Valley at Hornsby.

The following weekend Sunday 19th January Specialized will be at the recently opened Wylde MTB Trail in Western Sydney.

It is promising to be a great rider experience with an extensive range of bikes available. I will be the personally, so say hello, and hopefully i will get to go for a ride on some of my new and old favourites

Thanks for the post Dicko. I've missed all test days so far so I'm definitely locking in one of these... Hopefully Ourimbah. Is it just a turn-up event or pre-register only?

Thanks for the heads-up. Dates are now on the Specialized web site, says no bookings required hopefully the queues are not crazy.

Gotta love marketers. They have their own language.

Thats code for,...

A selection of top spec'd bikes from xc, trail enduro and downhill in all shapes and sizes setup for you to ride on trails that you all love.

Throw in a free shuttle at Ourimbah for those of us that dont like going up.

I call that a good start.

No bookings required. Just turn up on the day.

Yeah - i love specialized and they support an old bugger like me in what I love to do - RIDE

So come out and do some skids, have fun and put some bikes through their paces. I know I will !

After Santa Claus gave me Sinusitis for Xmas, which I'm still battling, I'm really looking forward to this test day.

Test The Best weather update - Hornsby, New South Wales.

Due to wet conditions Specialized had to delay the start of today's Hornsby event in Sydney. Will be reassessed at 11am if we can set up dependent on track conditiona et. for delayed start from 12pm. Thanks all for your patience.

Remember you will have another opportunity next weekend at the Wylde MTB Park in Western Sydney Parklands if you missed out this weekend.

Today's Test the Best event at OMV Hornsby is sadly - but unsurprisingly given the weather - cancelled.

Sorry everyone - but don't forget there are still next weekend's demo days to come.

Maybe we will see you all at Wylde Mountain Bike Park instead. i was out there testing the trails for the first time yesterday - a great addition to Sydneys trail network.
