Meeeee!!!
It was Castle Coombe, for them that's interested. I went out in a usual group of 12, but had one-to-one instruction which was fab - they got me to follow them for a couple of laps then I led and they'd go back past me on bits I got wrong to put me right and by the end of the day the instructor said I'd done a perfect lap!
It wasn't the fastest lap in the world (although I did overtake a Ducati Senna on a previous lap - LOL) but I really felt like I knew how to ride a track by the end of the day, just got to get faster and get me some knee sliders now...
I'd recommend Castle Coombe to any first timer - the instruction was brilliant and I don't think I'd have progressed half as well without them.
Now, when's the next one...?! |

Nice .
Wanna come race in minitwins next year?
Note that from what I've heard there are plenty of better tracks than Castle Combe for a first trackday, but then I've never really seen anyone disapointed with a first trackday where ever they have done one . |

Well done
Just don't do what I did on Sunday . As G said, there are plently of better tracks than Castle Coombe which I personally found quite repetitive.

I wouldn't be popping your head up here anna, sure you've been saying you wanted to do one for many years now .
(Infact I seem to remember you were considering going to the first track day that I went to - hmmm, maybe a good thing you didn't, looking at how much I'm spending on track riding now .) |

Wish you still had the 125LC to take around the track, what fun that would be!
That pic is very cool, you suit that bike very well. ____________________ Honda MBX50 | Yamaha RD125LC | Suzuki RG125F Lucky Strike | Suzuki GSF600S
