Well, what can I say.

I had a great day, my tyres are nicely shredded, the bike is covered in bugs and my sliders are nearly worn out.

Cadwell is a very demanding circuit, lots of different corners, fast lefts & rights, slower tighter corners too and then some good combinations especially at Hall Bends. Someone said to me that there is an 80 metre difference between the highest & lowest point on the track!!

The new chicane they've put in to slow people down a bit, works. I really struggled to get that right until later on in the day.

The mountain, well I spent most of the time trying to stop the front wheel coming up (although the BSB guys get completely airborne there!) it is a lot steeper that it looks on the TV.

I have learnt one major thing from the day and that is that I shouldn't be in the novice group anymore!!

I was only overtaken by one other person, my buddy Jim who I had some great battles with.

If you're interested - I've put some pictures up on Facebook - here - http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151341&id=594235106

A little teaser. . . .
