We hear on the grapevine that Marin supremo Paul Lasenby will be giving suspension set-up and bike handling seminars at a special promotional day at GA Cycles in Shirley, Southampton. And anyone can go!

Scheduled to run on the 30th November from 1pm until 8pm the day will include technical advice and test rides on 2001 Marin and Whyte bikes, advice, and fitting on all Pearl Izumi products.

Apart from being able to draw upon Pauls' wealth of experience you will also be able to see the entire 2001 Marin range, from the all new, adjustable travel full suspension bikes, upgraded steel and alloy hard tails to the new Marin City bikes.

As you'd expect spaces will be at a premium so you'll need to ring and tell them that you're going along - particularly if you want to test ride one of the demo bikes that will be available on the day. To find out more, reserve a test ride, cup of coffee, Paul's autograph....

Ring GA Cycles on 023 80636648 for more info or to book a test ride.
