Got up early Friday and set off without breakfast. Had a good run up, arriving about 11.30 and in the excitement to be ready for afternoon practice I somehow forgot lunch.

People arrived throughout the afternoon and it was good to meet many DSC names and at last put faces to them. In fact we got together a group of eleven and had a great curry in Louth.

Saturday morning weather! - completely lost my apetite. Fortunately things cleared up through the day with a lovely evening. Managed another curry in Louth.

Sunday dawned much like Saturday, but with sound effects - there goes my apetite again! Like most, the adrenalin flowed and I had a great day, only starting to chill out on the drive home. That's when the hunger pangs hit so I enjoyed a Ginsters Snach Bar and a Toffee Crisp, all washed down with a Wild Bean Latte.

Can't wait for Castle Coombe.

Seems like there'd better be a decent curry house in CC, or you'll go hungry!!!!! ;)

Short and sweet!

I'm a curry fan too but I think you love it more than me!

CC is close enough to home for me to 'pop back'. Shame we're not racing at Pembrey this year; know a great curry house there too!

It's not that I'm fanatical, it's just that my better half doesn't partake so I need to fill up whenever I'm off the leash.

Just thought, I know a good curry house in Swindon and that's not too far from CC...

Nice report on the curry ian!

Not much word on the race tho... it was an awsome ride, showed us youngsters there's still loads to learn. Well done old chap.
