Ditto

I'm not very confident in the wet and I've got a track day tomorrow too.
Maybe it will give me some confidence (If I don't bin it)

I quite enjoy riding in the rain .

All about being really smooth and making sure your are in the right gear. Surprising how hard you can brake and accelerate even in the wet.

On the other hand, maybe you are just worried about having to clean the bike later

Not a big gambler, but was down to last £20 yesterday so put it all on the favorite in the last race which won at 2/1 so not to bad. Went more for the social aspect, a 'few' drinks with mates etc. Watched it on TV this afternoon and Man Utd first team were there.
