Thought they were only having the Helion there to test? Bit late notice but good on them for bring a test day and some pro's out to play. (y)

It's been on social media for a while now... Not only the hub, try following GT bikes on facebook maybe?

Bad marketing strategy? That's like preaching to the converted, a social media/fb promo follows or aligns to media campaign.

I completely agree, stoked to have them here... but I'd much rather see martin maes race (and smoke our locals) than ride a gt helion

believe it or not. ......there are people who do not use Facebook.

 

GT advertised it on the hub 24hrs prior to the single CT event.

 

A little better market penetration next time if they spread the word a little earlier/further.

There were a ton of kids at the park chasing Martin and Sam around on bikes and getting them to sign EVERYTHING. Really good, down to earth guys who were more than happy to oblige.

We've just rolled into PE which is living up to its name as the Windy City.

 

If you're in the area join Sam and Martin and the GT Good Times Tour for a social ride from Bridge Street Brewery from 16h00.

Would liked to have visited Giba yesterday, and be a "cool kid" by having a photo taken with some of the GT pros, although I woke up with a bit of a sore head from the night before. Went over my limit of beer at home while watching rugby.
