Probably because they are :shock:
Well, yeah I suppose. Just the popular conception is that race tracks are dangerous, and I was surprised how 'safe' it felt on the track despite going a lot faster than I do on the road. Maybe they should spice it up a bit with cars going round the other way, a few cyclists, potholes, sideroads, stray dogs and a handful of pedestrians.

What a fantastic weekend, can't believe how much fun I had over the two days.
Even after blowing Orville up on day one session one :cry:
I have to say a massive, massive thankyou to Kawa Clive and farmer John for the loan of their bikes for the last two sessions. Although I did farmer John a favour as Nick Patience had oiled up the plugs on his session :mrgreen:

Go pro footage to follow hopefully Thumbs Up

Now where is the entry form for next year

Also can’t get the links to the photos to work. Do we need to download a programme to run it?

Is it worth us chipping in together to save a few quid? (£4 for 1 or £2.50 for 10+)

Thank you to the Club members who came to the Festival and to those helped out with the stand.
There were only about 12 or so of us - so there was nowhere near the numbers needed for a Triples track session.
Huge thank you to Farmer John for loaning me his bike for my track session.
It was my first ever track session and then doing it on a bike with an unfamiliar gearbox that I didn't own made it doubly concerning.

I was slow.

Same here Nick, thanks for organising. And as stated previously, this could turn out to be a regular event for the club. I will certainly be going again. 8)

Cheers, Ian.
