Re: Buxton Speedway Riding Day - 9th May
Is it just the £50 balance we owe and does that include the kit hire?

Re: Buxton Speedway Riding Day - 9th May

I have given them my mobile.
But if everyone wants to PM me their mobile numbers I'll let you know if I hear otherwise.

Re: Buxton Speedway Riding Day - 9th May
Gutted but unfortunately I'm going to have to give this a miss. Got a horrible cold and I just can't face getting up for a potential soaking. Hope you all have a good one though and looking forward to seeing the photos!

Re: Buxton Speedway Riding Day - 9th May
Sorry I'm going to have to cancel guys. Feel quiet bad and that I'm letting mates down but I pm'd Kwacky a few days a go to warn I may not attend.
I ended up working nightshift as a colleague didn't turn in and I also had to do an extra shift meaning I only got of them last night and I've barely slept for days. Tbh I don't feel safe to drive the car down the shops never mind spend a day learning new skills, which any other time would be a truly great experience and day out with mates.
Apologies guys. Sorry.
On a positive note its dry here and the forecast looks good with it being 95% dry with the odd chance of a shower.
Have loads of fun and look forward to hearing what a great day it was and seeing some awesome sideways photos.

Re: Buxton Speedway Riding Day - 9th May
Really nice to see everyone was a really fun day but I'm still shocked how tiring It was. Enjoyed covering monty in crap and trying to slide the bike around think I may try it out when we go to Wales.
Oh and monty sort a bike out so you can show me round the back lanes of Buxton :-)
