Very keen to come and watch the last round of the season!

Always a problem of course: Off nightshift but fingers crossed (for you ALL) on the weekend.

The A1 North from Dishforth currently has a fair bit of 50mph limit and two lanes due to roadworks and 'upgrades'.

So a bit further but here is an alternative route:

There is a nice bike dealer (Aprilia, Dennis Teasdales) in Thirsk too, going this way & you get to see a nice olde market town.

I'm sure you guys are all very well kitted these days but if anyone needs help or anything (minor) brought to the circuit, I'll try to help.

Cheers - Frank

Top man Kev, are you staying in the area near your start point or is that simply the nearest start on the day?

Bear in mind too Croft is awful close to North Yorkshire Police territory and they have a history of rigorous speed enforcement and a brand new mobile camera unit that can work at LONG range distances - that will need paying for!

A ticket would be very welcome - Cheers :D

I have set my service schedule so that I should be at Durham services on the Thursday and instead of driving 240 miles home afterwards I can drive the short distance to Croft
