    It was a washout as the morning progressed and as someone on here said " the fun and learning continues" and yes it did, I had a great time as did my mate, a very different day to what we expected ,the Bridgstone evo tyres did their job very well.

    So, think what you've learned in the wet. Now turn the taps off, bring some sunshine out and let it go.....

    I always believe that if you get training in the wet and you ride pretty quick in it, look at how you're going to gain in the dry.

    Wet as it was, just stay smooth and you can still ride pretty quickly.

    I hate riding in the rain and our last time there hammered it down, I was in a right panic at first but ended absolutely loving it!

    Wet riding like that can give a massive skill and confidence boost, glad you enjoyed the day despite the poor weather

    I do hope for a dry weather but at the moment it looks pretty damp out there. Good fun riding in the rain but you have to control your speed and be smooth all around...especially in the tight corners..
