Been to Wigan again today, but just to spectate & take photos. Nice to see Dave P & family there. Never seen anybody move so fast when the lad fell off the Steelie in front of them :p:D. Dont tell her Dave, she will hit me next time she sees me.
My mate "Bro" was trying to win the Steel frame Championship, so it was worth going. He got 2nd, so well done mucker. The day was really hot & I have to say that I haven't seen so many crashes in 1 day. The worst was a lad on a Steelie crashing in the same place as me, but a lot faster. His bike lept over the tyres & ended up on the other side of the bank. Hope the guy is ok. All in all it was a day worthy of ending up looking like a shrimp, roll on next season I might even do the whole thing next year :)
My mate Bro.

This lad won the Isle of Man Electric bike class this year. Tell you what, he was fast. He highsided at this very corner, but I missed it as I was photographing Bro.
