Got a bit carried away coming into gerrards following some quick

Well, home now and pretty tired.

Thoughts....

Defo glad I don't it, never leant bike over so far on a right hand bend before so that was worth it just for that.
I have also learnt how much I can push my brakes, hell of lot more than I had before.
I actually overtook someone one of the dedicated track bikes guys as well, I had followed him for 2 laps and he was holding ME up, so on next lap I decided to take him and did quite easily just before edwinas.

I was very nervous to start but relaxed later.

So my advice, don't be afraid to do a track day, cos if I can anyone can.
