[skidlids]

Suits me, go for a little splash around in my wellies

Dickie, dont worry 2 weeks ago they were threatening rain for this saturday over 10mm but now it looks like all we will have to worry about is heatstroke!!

ps I dont care if it rains it may well slow everyone down and reduce the number of crashes,(on the other hand the last finisher could also be the first)

Rain, Woodlands circuit, cold Diablos, 38 bikes, 30 novice racers and the best fun you can have in leather.....fantastic.

Good luck everyone

I'm taking a rubber ring and armbands with any luck i'll bounce when I get punted off by somone over estimating the grip of Diablos into the hairpin

[the old man]

cadwel has its own micro climate and weather system, infact the woodland circuit has its own micro micro climate - forecasts are meaningless

[WeeJohnyB]

Too true Old Man, it does defy all logic. A couple of weeks back Monty and I were there for racing and it was cancelled due to fog. Two mins out of Cadwell was totally clear. I had a race red flagged two years ago in brilliant sunshine as I went down Park Straight, must be a big off I thought, until I got back to the Mountain to discover hailstones the size of golf balls. You can pretty much ignore any met office info where Cadwell is concerned.
