On Sunday the 10th February, the Future Publishing organised National Demo Tour got under way with the first of the events at Glentress in Scotland. Se t up on top of the mountain at the Buzzards Nest Car Park, the organisers put on a great show with music playing from the Hub in the Forest Café (which was the bus they used for many of their own events), on-site facilities and a whole host of different brands for consumers to try out. Somehow, the organisers had even arranged some fantastic weather; after a misty start lower in the valley, the sun came came out to play and warmed the whole event. Now, the Scots are a hardy bunch so it's not surprising to see many of them in tee shirts in winter, but even the English on hand were forced to remove their down jackets.
Most of the manufacturers booths were busy all day and the festival atmosphere lasted well after the last bike had been demo'd. The Extreme Medics in attendance reported very few injuries, mostly cuts and bruises, and even the organisers themselves had a smile on their faces.
The next event is at Coed y Brenin in two weeks time, 24th February so if you couldn't get to the first one try getting to Wales. The rest of the series is listed on the National Demo Tour's website, bikedemodays.com. See you there.
