Anglesey, Wales this weekend 29-31 May 2009

Hello folks

As you will have read, the first two rounds didn't quite go as planned (or indeed as hoped!), the problems have been identified with the quickshifter and should now have been fixed. The biggest problem, i.e. my fitness, has been receiving some attention too, I've been working quite hard in the gym in the hope of regaining my form from last year.

I had some good results at Anglesey last year with New Era, so I'm looking forward to going back. I have only ridden the Coastal circuit and the Full circuit is being used this time, so we have a track day planned for Friday. Racing is Saturday/Sunday so if anyone would like a great day (or weekend) out by the seaside please feel free to come and join us.

Fingers crossed!!

Jagger

Cadwell Park - Rounds 3 & 4 - 3/5 May

Following a few tweaks and adjustments after the first meeting, I headed off to Cadwell with the intention of getting the Season off to a start! I even managed to get to the gym for some much needed fitness work. I've always enjoyed riding the circuit and was looking forward to running the K8. Testing on Saturday was pretty straightforward and a few adjustments to the suspension cleaned up the tyres nicely. The bike didn't feel as though it was doing anything wrong but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get near my previous times. I gave the bike a quick check over, new pads and tyres ready for race day and an early night.

I got excellent starts in all of the races (and restarts), and although my fitness didn't seem as bad as Croft, I really struggled with 'arm pump'(it was that bad on Sunday I couldn't even hold a drink afterwards!). The only saving grace was a reasonable result in Saturday's second race. From 18 to 8th in tricky, damp conditions.

Really disapointed with my lap times and it was gutting to run as high as 4th only to disappear backwards as the races went on.

Back to the gym again!?

Catch you later,

Jagger
