Bike Experience No.2
 

Here we have the second Bike Experience day. Lindsay and Chris, both paralysed from the chest down, come and learn to ride again. Very emotional day, with both riders getting on well in the paddock area, but then Lindsay unable to overcome the 'demons' to get out on the track, not helped by a rider crashing next to the pits as we were about to head out - his bike bursting into flames! Chris ignored the rain and did really well, although Lindsay isn't done yet and is coming back to try again, this time the sun will shine (hopefully) and we'll get her out on the track. Many thanks to all who helped. Anyone who has time to help volunteer to get riders back on a bike please PM me. Cheers Talan
