AGE/EXPERIENCE OF DESMODUE PARTICIPANTS

I was discussing the series last night in the pub (diet bl**dy coke) with some friends and realised that although my ego still thinks its 25 years old and my brain thinks its 4 years old my body will be 48 yhis year. This started me thinking wether the entrants are mainly deluded old gits like me or young guns full of sp*nk and no fear at all, and how much experience the entants have.

So I am 48 this year and although I have been doing track days since 1998 I have never raced and I have lost my feel for speed in the last 2 years resulting in me riding within a very safe comfort zone. My primary reason to do desmodue was chris, michael and neill persuading me that I really did want to race! and the need to drag myself out of my safe mindset (although the first turn on the first lap in the first race at cadwell should sort that out!).
