    I am not the greatest or the fastest rider in the world, steady plodder should probably be the best way describe my riding style.
    About 7 years ago I attended the RHRS on the 600s. Once again steady plodder would be the best way to describe my on track experience, but the guy that was going out with us chose not to go out after his first session, so I can't have been that bad. My problem then is the same problem that I have now.
    Being of the older generation, grounding your footrest was the best way to show your biking skills, non of this knee down elbow down malarkey. I have mental block that doesn't allow me lean to the N'th degree. My chicken strips are only about 5mm but looking at other people's chicken strips I have a small amount to go, but that small amount is a long way off, so I'm going to Donnington and have a bit of one to one tuition. I don't want to break any lap records just learn to get it cranked over properly. I am excited already, August is a long way off.:)

    Big 5 0 for me to Clarkey. I have promised myself that I would do this for years and finally got around to it. I will post a report the day after, if all goes well I will be looking at booking the elite class later in the year.

    When I previously did the RHRS I did the 600. I did find it frustrating when out on track you'd just be getting to your favourite bit ie Craner Curves and you'd have to pull to the side to let the Elite 1000s through. I don't know if they still do that. But it was a bit annoying.
