| Mr Rockhopper - might just do that - I'd like to watch some racing at Darley now even if it is fair way to come.
Ruth,
Even the lady herself, admitted that she really needed to get to the gym to work on her upper body strength. I seem to remember Matt commenting that she needed to get her shoulders lower down so that her fore-arms were parallel to the floor (in the hope of getting maximum leverage, I think). Her problem manifested itself as the speed on track increased, she was having to shut off too much for the esses instead of using counter-steer to help.
Two things I forgot to mention about the day - excellent trackside photography was available on the day (but I've seen enough of my big backside on a bike for a while) and I also believe that the day also counts as a signature on a racing licence as well, certainly one guy rushed back to get his licence signed but I imagine this is just to get rid of a novice jacket?
Cheers - Frank |
