If you're at all interested in Cannondale bikes, then you should probably make yourself aware of the 2006 Cannondale Epidemic Tour - it's Cannondale's grand tour around the bicycle dealers of Britain with a trailer full of demo bikes (both road and mountain) for you to have a go on. The demo range will include the women specific Rush mountain bike, we've had one on test and well be publishing the test in April, it's well worth a demo!
You'll need a helmet, shoes and ID, and of course it's always a good idea to contact the host shop before setting off. Here are the current dates and venues:
