    I think I'm booking this one on my own this time. You got room in the gazebo for one more :D
    Just got to decide which bike I'm taking.

    Hey, yeah, no worries. We can't camp out on the helipad any more so camped in the car park next to it last time. I may be trying out a new bike, a 636, depending on how it goes when I go to see it later this week.

    Hope the sun shines for you. I went to Donnington on May 11th and the weather was shocking. Managed to get 2 dry sessions at the end of the day. Had a brilliant day though. Just watching the advanced group blasting into redgate, during torrential rain, was awesome. There was some great riders there. Have fun

    Bugger, I'll not follow too closely then :D
    Hope you're well though. I had it in December 2020 and wasn't well at all.
    I've not had my check-in email yet. I'll see if it arrives tomorrow otherwise I might be tapping you up for the link to the briefing.

    @dern No check-in email from MSV this morning. Don't suppose you could message over the link by any chance?

    I'm all set for tomorrow now. Borrowed my old trailer as I don't trust the van to do long distance :)

    Like wise. Feel knackered after getting it all sorted today but feel better today than I did yesterday so logically tomorrow I should be fine. I wouldn't recommend anyone gave me a hug but I've done my 5 days since testing positive.

    Genuinely considering selling the car/trailer and buying my own van so I can keep most of the stuff ready to go. Such a faff building up and tearing down these trailers, as good as they are.

    I'd say unless you go for a massive van then you'll have more room as you are. Getting 2 bikes in anything the size of a Transit is a pain.

    Taken on the 3rd session before you started working on your body position.

    I was going to search for Bedford to see what the track is like before I book it. But OMG is it just the camera, or is it completely flat?

    Ah, I see what you mean. All felt so stiff and locked in. The suggestions you made made the world of difference and loads to work on, cheers. Good day, I enjoyed it after I started getting a bit more energy.

    Pics are up. Good for a body position comparison.
