Bit embarrassing that eh It was getting annoying, tumbling, then sliding, then rolling over again...you just think 'that'll do, I want to get up now' The tyres weren't that bad really. Not a patch on full wets, the guys with those in the other races were flying, but they were OK.

Well done indeed Lucie, I thought I was back teaching advanced bike handling using you and your bike to weave through instead of cones in a car park when you went down in front of me at Druids! Can you fit a towbar for Castle Combe tho, gawd that bike of yours dont arf shift down them straights, thought I'd got you in the final turn of the final lap of our final race only to have you power past me on the line, I'd used the previous 3 laps to watch your lines through the corners (looking good too ) and decided to pounce at Clearways but it wasn't to be! See you at CC
