BikeSaf day at Castle Combe

[Takson]

Just back from the BikeSafe day at Combe, having had a good day.

Assessment ride went well, although it seemed very strange having a police bike following me. I felt very guilty for the first couple of miles! Luckily the feedback for me and the the other chap was positive, with good lines and good vision. COuld always be improved and need to look further up the road, which comes with more practice.

The track session was good fun and and the trials demonstration was very impressive. All in all a good day. Did anyone else go?

[Burbler]

Yep, I had a look around and a coffee - food looked awful.
Huge number of very varied bikes. Passed loads more on my way home as well.

Did you come and say hi at our club stand mate? Was about 40+ of us there all day

yea good variation of bikes, but lacking in the food , them victory bikes are a work of art

Yeh I agree the food was poor - I think castle Combe wanted exclusivity on food in return for it being a free entry show. I refused to pay £20 for 2 lunches and 2 drinks for us (could eat out for that!) and queued 20 mins for a pretty average burger

I seen the queue and seen the grub so never bothered with it myself.

who seen the Batham race bike/rider go round ? jeez

[Burbler]

He did seem in a bit of a hurry. Crackling and banging was, I gather, the quick-shift gears.

40 ?? I did see 4 or 5 suspicious looking characters lurking at the tent but didn't butt in.

Not all at once most I counted was 23 at one time. Was a busy old day
