Tandragee100.

[mister c]

We had a brilliant road trip last weekend to the Tandragee 100 road races in Northern Ireland. The Friday practice/race was brilliant, tee shirts & plenty of sun, but the Saturday race day was a complete washout. I think that I'm quite hardy, but gave up after 2 hours. I was freezing cold & very wet. We then had a 30 mile ride back to the hotel in horrendous conditions. We covered just over 700 miles & I loved it. Roll on the Southern 100 in July :)

Hi Col

Great pictures.

Did you get any of Supertwin 142, as it was me?

It was truly awful conditions, but still great fun to race in, I've done a write up on my website.

Cheers

Good read Stu, pity about the 400

I'm off for a sedate day at Snetterton on Monday

[mister c]

Cheers people. Stuart, I took over 400 images & I've only got 2 of you & they're not too good. I have the utmost respect for you guys, those conditions were awful & you still give it 100%. You are certainly a rare breed :)
Are you at the Southern too this year? I'll look out for you.

Hi

Good luck at Snetterton, Dickie.

Thanks for the pictures, sums the conditions up, especially like the guy with the pipe. 400 photo's? Thank goodness for big memory cards.

They were the worst conditions I've raced in, but was still great fun. Surprising what you can get away with on a set of wets, althouth the back still stepped out coming out of Castle Corner, which focusues the mind.

Would it be ok to use one of the pictures on my web site please? I know I lack pictures on there as I rely on others taking them for me as don't have a press officer working for me?

Yes am at Southern 100, will let you know what number when I know what it is.

When you're over feel free to pop along and say hello.

Cheers
Stuart

[mister c]

By all means, help yourself. If you let me know your number I'll make sure that I get some pics of you & we will pop over & say Hi

[Stuart42]

Many thanks for that.

Will let you know, and put the kettle on.

Cheers
Stuart
