It was monsoon weather at Cadwell yesterday, & even my wets gave up the en-even battle to keep me safe.
I knew I was getting cocky, 'cos I'd passed the IXION instructor & was playing at making little rooster-tails with my knee sliders.
Then the inevitable happened.
Full pelt down Park straight, through the puddle at the bottom, up to the crest still WOT until the II marker. Hard on the anchors, hit the apex for Park corner, throttle a little too aggressively towards Cris Curve & the back let go.
I have yet to review my Gopro footage, but currently that's how I remember it.
I then had to endure a procession of all the riders who had braved it out there with me, riding past under the red flag & laughing their cocks off.
I'd swear ever single one of them was shaking their head condescendingly as they passed the scene.
