Morning folks, just sat at work waiting for a job to come in. I’ve got a bit of a sore head, but I’ve got a cup of the strongest polish coffee you can imagine on the go. I didn’t end up rolling in the tractor. Instead, like I said I do if I won, I was off in the pub. …

Corn carting, slug pelleting and new opportunities
Sorry I’ve put bugger all up since Croft. I’ve been down the truck yard in the mornings, then working on the farm till late. We’ve been as busy as ever on the trucks, then I’ve been doing a bit of corn carting, rolling and slug pelettting on the farm. Oh well, it’s keeping me out of mischief. Well, it’s …
Saturday at Croft
We seem to have the same problem with certain corners wherever we go and I think we’ve made a bit of a breakthrough with the way we need to go. Fourteenth isn’t spectacular but it’s OK for me and I always go better in the race. Everyone’s working really well and if we carry on in the same direction then …
Croft update
Evening all, just sat at Croft. Not a lot happening other than a lot of rain. Reports say the same for tomorrow but better for Sunday. We got a few dry laps in and got a few jobs sorted. It needs to be a bit softer here and you need to get the bike set so it doesn’t wheelie as …
Another mint pic
This is from Lenny who plays in a ska band in the Isle of Man. I’ve seen him play and that boy knows his onions, and has an eye for a decent pic.
Nice pic
Chris the welder took it, not bad for a novice eh? It’s the bottom of the Mountain at Cadwell. Don’t know what day though.
Downhill fast
Fort Bill, what can I say other than, hardcore? Probably the most demanding thing I’ve ever done. Racing a downhill pushbike, down 35,200ft in six hours left me more knackered than doing a six-lap TT.Mave, Grundy and Kate came along for the road trip and were my pit crew for the day. They did a mint job, kept me …

Tractors
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 …
Guy in Luton

Cadwell and cornfields
Photos: Martin Heath 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 …

Mint photos from Cadwell qualifying
From Andy Graves
Quick word from Cadwell
“The weather hasn’t helped the job, I’ve still got loads of harvesting to do and my combine blew up last night! I’m happy on the bike side of things though. We’re at the point where we’re making just a little change each time and we’re getting faster each time so it’s building my confidence up with the team and with …

Eight time world champion Phil Read will be there too, so there’ll be no shortage of opinions. They’ve got other stuff going on too, so it should be a cool day. For more …
