Tonight Red and I are heading off to Cadwell for a trackday tomorrow where we're both instructing on the 400s. I haven't been to Cadwell for a while, and it's not one of my strongest circuits, so I'm looking forward to some quality time on it. I suspect my performance on track tomorrow will dictate whether I put an entry in for next weeks race round there. What I really need to get out of the day is the "grin factor" - I'm hoping some time in the fast group with Red will spur us both on! In other news, I've also now got myself a road bike! Yes, after two and half years riding solely on race tracks, I'm back out in the big bad world of cars and road furniture. I haven't actually ridden it yet, I'm getting it MOT'd on Saturday, and all going well it will be whizzing me up to work on Sunday morning. The bike is a Honda Bros 400 - very, very kindly supplied by Toby, who is, as usual, the bestest. :o) I'm looking forward to having a bike again, although I am a touch apprehensive about my road riding skills now it's been so long. I'm hoping it'll come back to me easily, like er, riding a bike. I also managed to get myelf over to Poole Quay last Tuesday, a big bike meet that goes on every week in the summer. I went with a friend, Justin, who's just passed his test and bought himself a Hornet 600. It was cool wandering around looking at the bikes, brings back memories of Boxhill in my younger days. It's probably a good place for me to go meet people too, I'll have to try and get there again when I can. Next time hopefully I'll get to actually go on a bike!
