What a weekend!! fantastic weather until the race started , then chucked it down so the tent stayed there for the pikeys as couldnt be bothered to pack it in the rain

on the way back one of our guys got pulled for 110.. 90 euro and a stiff talking to then 46 kms from st malo one of the bikes conked out and so as i was tail gunner i pulled over and towed him 30kms, until the support van found us, with him holding onto my waterproofs in the p*ss*ng rain..
what fun, and roll on three weeks til down there again..

p.s camping blue is a bombsite again

Hi Fagey
Which bit of Bleu is like a bombsite, nord or Sud? We have tickets for zone A this year and were looking forward to a bit of civilization rather than being stuck in the overflow field miles from the lav. Whats the story?

[fagey]

all of it.. nord, sud, HA, houx, rouge.. bikers having fun but the pikeys were moving in and the cleaning lorries arriving sun pm so by a week they should be ok.. except for the fire pits

Phew thats alright. I've seen Donnington after the bikers have finished, including a 3 litre Capri half burnt on top of a bonfire in the late 80s,
I thought the ACO had been 'improving' Bleu by cutting down all the trees, widening bends, putting corporate hospitality everywhere and putting miles of gravel in- As they do!
Oops, did someone say the ACO are reading this?

Superb result (3rd) in the 125s for Bradley Smith, yougest Brit on a podium ever and first Brit on 125 podium for 19 years. The boy's a star.

Go Brad

We stayed at the track until the rain stopped and then had a dry run back to Caen. Kept the speed down a bit due to the other half still getting used to her Breva, but as they say " made good progress". Discovered that the panniers on the Cali are not 100% watertight/

Great day out and a bit reminiscent of the the wet 24hr a few years back.
