Llandow Track day 8th April

After the horrible weather we had at the start of the year, and the booked practice day at Llandow race track being cancelled due to the snow and ice, we finally got a day there in April.

The weather was amazing lovely and sunny with a nice breeze, so that is always a good start to the day. After a 5 o'clock start, we arrived at the track in time for signing on and briefing (no thanks to the sat nav!) All of us filled with excitement, and nerves, coffee, and lots of sugar, we sat through the briefing and the stern warnings about being well behaved.

Its a strange feeling, spending weeks and weeks excited and itching to get out on track then when it comes to pulling up to the pit lane and waiting for the lights to turn green, you get so nervous you almost don't want to go out there....almost! Then when you are out there, it all seems to be forgotten and you can't help but have an awesome time!

The boys really started to get into there groove by the end of the day and were looking really comfortable on their bikes. They should have a really good season if they carry on riding like they have been. They seem to be going from strength to strength, getting consistently quicker.
The adults were on it! and thankfully they left me to pootle round at my own pace concentrating on getting my lines right - which after a slap round the helmet from the chief marshal and a bit of coaching, I finally stopped going for a bit of a trip on the grass around the bus stop!

The CB500 are pretty well suited for Llandow as the straights are relatively short and they can hold greater corner speed than the litre bikes. Still it made for some interesting practice, with the big bikes and the CB500 battling away, out braking one another and I’m pretty sure there was some elbows out action going on there as well!

All in all, very good day. A big thank you to Llandow, as usual excellent service.
