How’s it all going? Had a change of scenery this weekend. Started with a open day at Hein Gericke in Luton. It was cool to meet a good few folks from the PB forum. All us bike folks seem to be on the same sort of wave length. I met a top bloke called Mike Davies. I’m sure he must have been a stand-up comedian in his past life, reminded me of Fred Dibnah, legend. So a big thanks to Tim and all at Hein Gericke for looking after me. We finished Sat night off with a mint night out in Leeds. The lovely Annie from Hein Gericke took me out and showed me the odd pub and curry houses, bit of a sore head come Sunday morn though. Which wasn’t really needed as I was in a tractor most of the day helping the farm out with harvest, until we got rained off, bugger. Anyway here’s some pics, cheers.
Also, we are getting hundreds of spam comments. I don’t know why or who, but when we’re deleting them we think we’ve deleted the odd proper one. Sorry. We’ll be more careful, but it is a pain getting 200 spams in two days.

Afternoon. Sorry this blog is a bit late, but we’ve been busy getting through some harvest and mending lorries. It’s been all go, getting some truck work done first thing, then off down the farm to do some corn leeding, trying to get caught up. We’re getting there though. We got 140 acres done yesterday, so we are starting to make a hole in it.

Cadwell was only the other day, but now seems a life time ago. I’m pleased to say the bike never missed a beat all weekend. I reckon that is the first weekend she’s done without missing a problem, so a big thanks to James, Kate and Warren for keeping on top of her. It wasn’t a mega weekend for my teammate, James though. He’s been out on his enduro bike last week and tweaked his wrist. He gave riding a go in qualifying, but it wasn’t meant to be. He was in too much pain to stretch the cable so he parked her up. This wasn’t all bad though. It gave me a chance to have a go on his bike in Monday morn warm-up.The lads thought I’d go beter on something with this fancy wheelie control and traction control. My bike just has an on and off botton, throttle ,brake and clutch. so to get on something which resembled a PlayStation was a bit of a shock. I’m sure it all looks fast but I personaly think it wasn’t as ride-friendly as mine.

So for the race I stuck with mine seeing as it was working well. A 15th and a 11th doesn’t sound great but I was just happy to finish both races without breaking down. So to score points in both races was a bonus. We now have got a bit of a base seting that still needs fine tuning, but it’s not a million miles away. I can go on to Croft with a bit of hope that i can get stuck in, start thinking about my riding and not worrying about breaking down
