Have a great time gang and keep the rubber on the track not cartwheeling through the air

Damn, it was 33 degrees yesterday. Very sweaty indeed.
Track is awesome as always and everyone is behaving.

There was a 5 bike pile up in the first fast group session due to someone dumping oil though.

Hello you wannabe racers over there in the sunshine; how's it going? No track related embarrassments I trust.
We had one of the UK's three alloted summers days today, but no rideout to celebrate so you haven't missed anything.

Well now that we are all back and the bikes have been taken back off the stillages and back home, it all seems a bit of a distant memory now..

But wow what a trip that was. A great group of people, a fantastic track. a lesion in how to survive 30+ deg heat in full race leathers with effort being made. Managed to improve my personal best lap and drop a second off my time so happy with that such a shame my own bike was not repaired in time but the SmallBoys Track Hire Bike Triumph 675 served me well.
