I used to get a dry cheese butty in the back of the car when i was young :P

That's why you've grown up all weird ;)

Problem is for me personally being self employed (I know Tony's gonna come back and say so is he!!!) I'd have to take a day off to travel etc, probably another day (2 half days) to sort bike, load and unload, hire a van blah blah blah.

For me to do a TD in the week effectively costs me the best part of a grand with paying for the TD, van, fuel for van, loss of days pay, wear and tear on bike (tyres, oil etc) fuel for bike, food/drink.

Thus why I am doing as many TD's at weekends this year, they cost a bit more, but that is easy outweighed by not losing a days pay.

So am I!!! (I hate to disappoint!)

And I think my costs are higher than yours ;)

Your sponsor probably helps out though eh? ;)

Doubt I/we would get any sponsorship from the flat cap and whipet brigade Ooooop Nurf!

Nudging back on topic....

Been to both, Cadwell was visited for the first time this year, and I'll be back for TA4.

Oulton flows more than Cadwell, which makes Cadwell to me, more challenging.

Cadwell's cheaper, more available and somewhat more evocative than Oulton (for me)

If there's a TD at Oulton on 26th July, I'm up for doing it back to back with Cadwell. All in the interest of science of course.

Both are 5 hours+ with the trailer from my seaside abode.

Well it certainly helps but it still doesn't make up for me missing out my daily rate, not by a long shot.
