Maria Costello will also be hanging out on the Specialized stand, she may be better known as Britain's fastest female motorcycle racer and Guinness World Record holder for the fastest female lap of the Isle of Man TT but she's pretty nifty on a bike too.
She achieved one of her principle aims in finishing third in the Ultra Lightweight category of the Manx Grand Prix on Sunday, September 4 on the Isle of Man - becoming the first woman in the history of the event to stand on the podium - a fantastic achievement.
Maria cycles many miles each week as part of her training, proving that cycling is an excellent form of cross-training, she'll be showing us how she gets on without an engine in the Celebrity Duathlon Challenge.
