Beautiful weather today with nice sunset, giving a long half light. Camera settings give the illusion of night...

And how are they running it, do you go out in classes or can you just go on and off as you please?

Nice shots clmintie, try using rear curtain sync on your flash if it has it, you can get some great results with slower shutter speeds and lower iso's - keep it up.

Thanks Ricey....

My flash isn't flash, just off an old Polaroid, with no adjustments... Saving for a 125 at the moment, so will have to make do with what I have...... One day I'll get a flash canon flash and a better lens and.............but what I really want is a nice new 125......(really dear, it's for the children....Tui...)

How much to become a member?

I can't remember if I paid $60 or $80 for family membership, not sure now, I just keep throwing money at this motorcycle stuff until A: People stop asking for it, or, B: I run out.... 'B' being the most likely of the two...........

Simone?

How newbie friendly is ardmore? I've got an older bike and are just looking for somewhere to hoon around a bit. Wednesday afternoons would be fantastic as any excuse to knock off work early sounds good to me.

Thanks clmintie, I now have photographic proof of two wheels off the ground, (old man, CRF 250) I am now going to show all my mates who still don't believe it. I'm a new convert to dirt and Ardmore is OK for newer riders like myself, just go with the kids and old men to start with, that's all I say. Cheers again for the photo. See you at the track.

Yeah, I try to get there every Wednesday afternoon, but needs to be reasonably dry for me to enjoy riding.. ( I'm a woose...) I have even worked Ardmore into my current work contract, unfortunately there is a new contract on the way... Umm, let me see, work or ride... No contest really...

Will definitely be there tomorrow....

My camera and I are at your service........
