Hillingdon or Palace?

Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!

Hillingdon or Palace?

What finer way to spend an evening like this than on the field of conflict? :mrgreen:

You'll regret it when it rains on the day you wanta race.

Palace I suppose. god I always get nervous prior to racing, just like exam time when all that preparation (or lack of) should, in theory, come good.

Andrew, I'm sure you're talking yourself down, you've been doing ok at the TTs !

Actually for once it's not the fear of pain, humiliation and the general unknown that's holding me back - it's more that I daren't risk an injury with Mrs A about to pop. The next few weeks are going to be bad enough even if I have all my limbs and digits working 100% - if anything did happen, I'd have a hard time explaining why I chose precisely this time to embark on a glorious racing career.. :shock:

Will probably swing by again though to watch, and this time do a few practice laps to get a feel of the place. See you all up there.

Probably wise Adrian, I can imagine the look you'd get walking through the door with your head hung low trying the old puppy dog look :lol: .

Kieran, I've only got to race against myself in a TT :) . I'm curious to see if Italy has done me any good or just knackered me out.
