What UK bike demo events are on this year ? I want to go try some new light "down country" bikes (Trek Top Fuel, Specialized Epic Evo 8 etc). Looking for events where I can take the bike for a spin and get a real feel for how it rides, rather than buying blind off the internet. Live in London, but happy to travel for a good range of demo bikes.
Was going to recommend Just pedal for Canyon but looks like they've moved over to Specialized (MTBs not yet listed)

Near Boxhill Wednesday to Saturday
I went to a Leisure Lakes demo day last week end, and thought it was brilliantly run.
Just look like they have any more though currently.
Tweedlove (Tweedlove Festival) has a lot to demo if you fancy a weekend in Peebles. Bit of a hike from London but could be a fun weekend.
I'm not sure exactly what brands are there but normally there's a good selection.
