Wore the bib in the morning cos new tyres and first time at Cadwell...took the damn thing off after lunch cos people thought it meant they should stuff it up the inside going into corners then get in my way through the bends haha! Got some mountain shots but no air! Front end felt light but not enough bottle to give it a little tug to pull it up! (god how dodgy did that sound?!) But then last night watched a video on youtube of someone getting both wheels off the ground at the mountain, losing it and snapping their leg in two.....ouch!!!

I'm done with bibs now :)

Haha...at that speed?...no way! No, the instructors are in orange...no, they definitely thought I was a newbie...but then again when I take the bib off I look quite female in my leathers so either way they think I should be slow!!!
