Yeah I'm getting more relaxed now, just don't want to get over confident.

Don't fecking help when you got knobs are track bikes taking me on both sides coming into a corner.
My tires are proper bobbled :(
Got a bit carried away coming into gerrards following some quick
Bikes, went into it way quicker than my ability, which then screwed me up on the next.

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.

Glad you enjoyed it Phil, that's what it's all about really isn't it?! Does anybody fancy getting Anglesey in before it gets too cold?! :)
