We went out there today just took the kids & their bikes - boy had his 2nd go on 2 wheels. Rained all day so the tracks with be in prime condition. Not that many pple there & those that were there done few hours & left.
Kids have Mini MX tomorrow so we're out for riding tomorrow.

We're amazed how quick he picked it up. John took him there on Wednesday for 1st time. Part way through the day he was doing the learners track but couldn't get around 1 corner without help. Today he's around it no problems. He also has the concept of when he starts wobbling & losing it to give it more throttle. He's already going a decent speed - kinda scary haha.
Very proud of him though.

Well Mini Mx has been postponed - Sandpit is tempting. Will make decision in morning me thinks.

Weather so far isn't as bad as predicted - tad windy here now but not that bad. Think we will go out today for bit of a ride considering we were gonna be in it watching the kids at mini mx anyway.
Winds are meant to be clearing by lunchtime if the forecast i read is the right one

So how did it go with the new piston then? Was thinking about it, you're braver than me going out today! I'm a sissy girl's blouse!! Probably great fun out there and didn't rain at all!!!

That was a cool day, sweet conditions with no rain, wasn't too cold either. Jt showed me the big hillclimb after the big dipper. Sheeit that was tough, tried it about 10x almost made it to the top a couple times but no dice! Ah at least I didn't take it out on my bike eh flyin lol! Good chasing you two around the convict, really hard to keep up when you guys are goin race pace.

Had one interesting bit where I was practising wheelies (& aquaplaning lol) on the back road through the puddles and must of overgripped throttle and it was held wide open front started to come up quick and I was sliding backwards, couldn't reach the clutch arrgggh, luckily was able to pull myself up just. Note to self remember back brake next time! lol

Good to meet you Lil John and I must have seen you L Rider will say hi next time.
