http://www.roadcyclingshow.com/ on April 21st/22nd.

It's only just down the road from me, so I might pop along for a look around, but there's not much detail on the website, so I can't make my mind up whether it'll be interesting, or whether I'm going to be paying £12 just to walk round looking at stuff I can buy cheaper on Wiggle or Amazon?

Those are the bits I would find interesting, but I don't want to pay my £12, turn up and find out I've missed them, or they're not on for another 3 hours. There's no sort of timetable on the website. frown

I am thinking about doing the crit race that they're doing round the grounds of Sandown the same weekend, it gives me an almost free entry, so I'll probably pop in given its just down the road from me.

What day is that? The sportives are on the Sunday, but that messes with almost the last day of mini-rugby coaching for the season, so I'm stuck with the Saturday.

Plus I'd still be too fat & slow to keep up with a sportive which goes over both bumps in the Surrey hills out and back. cry

I might go to the show. I've not been before, so can't comment on how good it is. I'd be interested to know if it is a good place to buy discount 2011 bikes, or if it's only a showcase for the latest and greatest new stuff.

I've entered the Sandown 60 odd mile ride which comes with a free ticket so I'll be checking it out at some point
