What a great weekend so far
............... Set off in torrential rain on Saturday to find out that Altberg Hoggs ARE totally waterproof but Rukka gear isn't lol . Arrived at Donnington and found CJ had set up camp in a very easy to find spot as he was just at the entrance to the bike park area so if you followed the signs for motorcycle parking you could not miss him.
The CR ran faultlessly all weekend and it was fantastic to get to share the Hero EBR hospitality starting off with coffee and a chat in the afternoon and then back into their hospitality unit at 6PM and then taken in groups to the team garages to have a close look at the bikes and to get a few photos ( guess which knob left his camera on the table in hospitality and had to get somebody else to take photos for him
) we then were treated to an excellent meal that Steve had arranged for us in Team Hero EBR
. I think it was about 8-30pm when we left the paddock to head for our hotel just down the M1 , our Travelodge was very cheap but a little tatty around the edges but was a welcome place to get the gear dried out from earlier in the day. Forecast as we left the hotel this morning was for torrential showers again but the day turned out dry because I bought a new Umbrella
fantastic days racing and great to meet up with everybody. I don't think any of us will be able to thank CJ and Jane enough for all the hard work they put into this
We had a totally dry ride home with glorious sunshine for a lot of it .
