THANKS TO ALL THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN! WHERE DO I SIGN FOR NEXT YEAR.

I don't get out much to ride / socialise so made the most of this one.

I got 17 track sessions in 2 1/2 days !

Track reflections-
DD #10 - The retro Baines Imola got loads of attention in the paddock. I started to get comfortable on it over the two days and enjoyed playing with the other DD'ers - apologies to anyone who felt we played a bit close.

748RS - After the big end 'went' at Brands last year it was a first run out after a £2500 rebuild. Running in was limited to 9000 of 11500 revs made things interesting....nothing under 6000 then over it goes rev happy. Started to really enjoy it and reminded why I put up with the fragile beasty.

DUK S4RS - the 100hp Couch - This was a bizzare experience, suspenders were way to soft for my style and I bounced around a full fast session, feeling like a wind sock down the straights and a cowboy through the turns and under brakes. Great to try, but not my bag.

THANKYOU:

Lizzie - HUGE thanks for the organising of the day
Butch - Nice pig
Instructors - Nice one
DUK - Thanks for the loan of the couch.
Eric, Roger - Thanks for the paddock company
Ruth - The conversations en route and return.
Cadwell team - Well run and pleasant marshals etc.
Everyone else - Thanks for the atmosphere.
