Jerez - No Limits - end of Jan 2006!! [Archive]

Rattler

04-Dec-2005, 20:40

I've just booked up a few days in the sun!!! for Jerez in late Jan.

If anyone else fancies it here's what I'm up to;

I'm gonna be there for a week with Mrs Rattler (24/1/06 - 31/1/60). I'm riding, she's relaxing!!

I'm doing 4 days on track in total.

Here's the agenda (if anyone wants to come too!!)

A day off on day one, 2 days on track, day off, 2 days on track, then a further day to recover (repair!!) - in the 5 star hotel..

I can provide further info if anyone would like to be there too - Jon's also doing the 2 days on, day off, 2 days on part (with a bit of R&R time thrown in).

Just 8 weeks away - can't wait!!

Tim,

Just had to cancel a January Ski Trip due to work commitments, so Jerez at the end of the month looks very tempting...where do you have to get your bike to for collection/transportation? I'll have a look on the No Limits website for some more details, but the sites tend to be a bit sketchy on bike transportation details.

Many thanks,

Ian

04-Dec-2005, 20:56

Oooh!!!

Well, I'm not sure I can make it as I'm planning a trip to Aus ... also, I'm not sure how well I'll be walking!

Definitely keen though. Tim, can you send me the details please mate?

Ian, can you give me a call?

I may be interested in this. How much is it though? And what are the guarantees for nice weather??

TP - take the trip to Oz. You know you need it ;)

Rattler

04-Dec-2005, 21:27

Its part of a ten day track booking they have, their normal packages are 4 or 6 days - (first 4 or last 6).

Don't know about transport yet, weather should be good, apparently it might be a little chilly first thing, but short-sleeve weather by 10am.

Details are here;

http://www.nolimitstrackdays.com/EuroDates.htm

Give 'em a call if you fancy it. WJB would recommend it ;)

Oh yeh - one of the best bits for me is the open pitlane = lots of practice time.

Don't worry, I'll still be going to Aus - but this might make a gentle re-introduction to life in the northern hemisphere :D

By the time late April comes around the DD will have raced 4 times and novice-jackets would be packed for Assen. So anything after mid-March was a no-no for me.

Besides, I can always do April too!!!! ;)

I'd rather none of you came, and I do mean that in the nicest of ways.
The last time I encouraged other members to come along, it pi$$ed it down for nearly all of the 4 days we where there. That was late Feb early March.
The days leading up to our arrival had tempretures in the high 60's the last day we where ther waiting for our flight, the temp was in the high 60's. Pedro even took his shirt off to top up his tan. I've been there in Dec and found the conditions ideal. I've also been there in April and found it a bit too hot. High 70's

This is not going to be a trip of boozing in the evening and caning it around the track by day, having to give up loads of tracktime becuse of not feeling to good, knackerd or still pi$$ed. Its going to be a structured trip with goals to achieve, then an evening meal and maybe 1 or 2 small beers then bed. It might be a bit difficult for Tim at times, because with the structured plan in place it leaves no room for specific night moves, sorry Karen;)

You're full of sh**

If I'm there it will be drinking, cavorting ... missing out on track time, riding in the afternoon after spewing at lunch time!

Speaking to a few peeps from Seville they informed me a few months ago that the weather is 50/50 in Jan/Feb in Southern Spain thus why I am not bothering with this one, I'm still on for the FE dates in April if they ever confirm anything!

I'm still a definite for April (again, if FE ever firm the details up), just toying with the idea of nipping out in January as well

(Bank balance says No, but I am ignoring that at the moment)

Yes Jon but this is south east Spain. I believe they benefit from the gulf stream effect like Cornwall:)

Just trying to work out the best fit in terms of which month, which circuit and weather.

Weather had always been the biggest off put for this one, but given that it could rain at any time it may be worth the risk. At least with no limits we know it will be well run.

I was trying to book the same deal as above which is on track on the 26th, 27th, 29th and 30th but I may have an issue booking the 30th and need to ride the 28th instead. I wouldn't mind a day's break inbetween to be honest ...

I'll be getting a call back soon on this - watch this space :D

Yeah I was going to go out in the morning but I didn't want to drop another day's pay really. It will be a late check-in but I'm not overly fussed as it's open pitlane.

My goal for the first day will just be to get to know my way around and get used tot he bike. It's likely to be my first time back on a bike since jumping over the handlebars at Brands! Depending on how my ankle goes ...

I'm sure we can sort something out for the trip to the airport. If Lord R is willing .. but I also know some Bemsee/Visordown chaps that will be there so we might be able to hook something up there.

Although they are notorious for keeping the Bemsee paddock awake well into the morning with their drunken antics :D

Shes given me the nod if i want..........does seem a bit expensive relatively speaking?...............

27-Dec-2005, 20:47

Is it worth £3-400 more than the other one.

Sorry if its a non bloky question, whats your other arf going to do for a week in jerez?

Rattler

27-Dec-2005, 21:04

£300 more than which?

Mrs Rattler will be taking it easy - taking advantage of the 5 star facilities and chilling out. Karen will be at the track for a day or two anyway. It'll be our last break for the two of us for a while and she won't be doing too much travelling after that.

Also, with the day off in the middle, its just enough time for her to get sick of me again and I can then spend the next two days at the track!!! ;)
