Thanks for organising the day, Mike (and big thanks as well to all those great people behind the scenes).

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you want to send a truck over, I'll send back the two tons of Loomer Road shale that are baked onto the bike! LOL.

Brilliant job that the people at Stoke, Scunthorpe, Leicester etc do to enable wannabe-ish riders like me the chance to ride their tracks and have fun.

Many thanks.

Hi Mike,

Is the report and scorecard in the pipeline?

If not, is there any chance you could post the times for heats 4 and 11 just so I have a marker for future events.

Cheers!

I think Mike's wedding planning must be taking up too much of his time to do it, lol
