Was it?? I must be suffering from that ailment. I can't recall what they call it now.

As its new to us I don't think there is anything to aim for it will be what it is and peeps will hang onto each other and get pulled along or hopefully left behind. Its going to work those tyres.

Oulton Park is just short of 2.7 miles Sam West was on a 2:04 this Snett is very nadjerry and 3 miles so I'm going to have a rough guess at 2:38.

Over 2 1/2 mins a lap, wow! I think there is a genuine fear that I might have a snooze on the straights. I like tracks like Brands, short and sweet with the roller coaster 'Paddock Hill' to make sure you're awake

Not sure may be worth a loom at what the MRO minitwins or streetfighter c with TGB were doing as I think both have been there already.

Re gearing, skids has a great theory I reckon I will be adopting: fast medium slow tracks. This is a fast one so 43 I reckon as Anglesey should have been a 44 but thd wind meant I could get the extra bit so just overrevved

So that's 45 at mallory and brands, 44 Anglesey and 43 snett. Done

2 less. If Anglesey was find and you were revving out up the hill then 1 more and 1 less I reckon would do it but be warned; I know feck all

I must say I do like the new circuit at snetterton. Its fast, and flowing and gearing was very important on the DD bike, giving a variation of 3 seconds a lap over a combination of 3 different sprockets.

Anyways, see you all friday eve. I do hope its dry Friday, but who cares on Saturday/sunday.

No I just thought I would be ultra careful and start with two more and work all the way back to 2 less! hahaha

Thanks for that, yes I think I mean 2 less!

Hugh when thinking of gearing just think push bike if its harder to pedal you change the sprocket to a larger on the rear or smaller on the front, to make it easier to pedal.
No more tips.
