There's a few of us booked in for Mallory on the 6th October with Focused Events.

I am going to Donington for a trackday on the 8th October - and it's FREE!! Invitation only I am afraid though! Also got the day off work without taking holiday! Thanks work!

Anyone keen for Brands on the 1st?

Depends how you ride on the road. Novice and Inters groups are very mixed. You get slowish riders in the Inters and Very quick riders in the Novive group (we call them 'glory boys' - those who get kicks out of passing people all day but don't actually improve their own skills. I did 3 or 4 track days in the Novice group but have now moved into the Inters. The instructers will move you if you are not in the right group. Personally, if you haven't done one before the safe bet is Novice group though I know guys who went straight into the Inters and were mid pack! The organisers will advise Novice if you haven't been before but won't ask for proof of experience!

Thanks for advice, gotta be novice then for 1st timers me thinks. Are you guys riding down ?

How are you guys getting to Mallory? Its a bit far to go in one day & back incl a track day, although Tim would probably say otherwise. Need a trailer and a car with a towbar.....

We are riding down from Leeds, Hudds, Rochdale and Harrogate early Sat am. Not entirely sure where we are all meeting. Probably meet at Wooley Edge services on the M1 at J39(ish). Time TBC - I'll update on this thread when confirmed. All welcome to join us.
