Mood: Channel Swim is now a (bad) memory not a dream
Cracking day with loads of track time. A few lowsides on the very cold tarmac. Only the very fastest could keep any heat in their tyres. I had warmers and those wooly covers over my tyres and they still didn't get very hot. By the time I'd done 6 laps, the left of the tyre was freezing and the right only mildly warm, so the trick with warmers was to go for it from the first corner and then ease off and come in.

Shame Tim went down Hope you're not too bruised and the bike is just the easy-fix bits.

The No Limits van head gasket went so we had to get the nice men from AA Relay to take us home.

Photos available on Guido's site below, (in the next few days).

Back up to Cadwell for racing in two weeks, ouch, so far off the pace. Paul who does our hire bikes went out on his CB5 and blitzed me, kept with him for a bit then he just beggered off. ah well, as long as it's not as cold as yesterday, should be fun.
