Going to a speciaized road test day at a motor racing circuit on Sunday hoping to ride a new Roubaix. Has anybody been to one and know how how it works in terms of getting to ride the bike you want and how long you get etc?
Cheers

This isn't just angry locals, these are the same organised right wing loons who see LTNS as an attack on their freedoms.

Regarding the stripped frame photo. Whoever left a TERN GSD locked up outside is nuts. That'll get nicked for sure.

Not sure using a race track would be a particularly good test of the new Roubaix though? That said the local circuit here at Castle Combe has its fair share of road surface "imperfections". Bit like when I hired a ti bike in Mallorca, whilst it was very nice I couldn't really tell if it was the bike smoothing everything out, or whether the beautifully surfaced roads meant there was nothing to smooth out!
I went to one last year and it was brilliant. They had nearly all the sizes of the Tarmac, Tarmac Disc, Venge Vias, Roubaix, and Diverge. As it was held at a race track you got two or three laps of the track to try each bike, so probably around 20 minutes each. Sometimes there was a bit of a wait for the right size to become available but it was definitely worth the time spent there. All you need is your cycling kit, and your pedals and shoes.
