Glorious weather. We're having a great time coaching here at Pembrey today; adding to the laughs is Mark Hanna on the spanners!

Slowly brightening up.
Wet and dismal first thing today here at Pembrey, luckily my client doesn't mind the rain and not having been here before it's ideal for him to check out the circuit. The weather forecast for South Wales is good for the rest of the weekend so we should be able to pick up the pace once he's learnt the track.

Something a bit different.
Having a day coaching an ICGP competitor at Snetterton. He's not ridden the new circuit yet and will be racing here with BSB in a couple of weeks.

So far so good.
Still nice warm and dry here coaching at Oulton today. Although the forecast was lousy when we left home, with a bit of luck we might get away with it.

Great day.
It was a bit gloomy this morning with a damp track; but now the sun has come out and it's glorious here at Cadwell.

Hopefully not a pattern...
...for the day here at Oulton. Bright sunshine and then we've just had a shower. Dry or fully wet please otherwise it ruins the coaching day for my client.

just one shower
- had a good day at Cadwell today, just missed one session after lunch while a rain cloud passed and drenched the place; then typical, it was all sunny and warm again so got back out towards the end of the day.

How bizarre.
First met Beanz in 2003 when he invited me to instruct at his Jerez track day. We're at a lovely sunny and warm Cadwell Park today to do some 'polishing'.

almost chilled now.
Bit too emotional to do an update from the circuit after the race. Those that watched it on telly will understand. Calmed down enough now to potter my way up North back home. Will update more later.

In hospitality
Watching Huddersfield Town play football. Team owner Alan is there supporting his local team. Oh yes the race - led for the first lap, and then had some monster massive 'almost crashing' slides got totally mugged while trying to get back under control. Even Chris Northover bagged me and took 4th. Leon was in front of him. Kenny won with Robbie Brown in 2nd. Tomorrows race is on telly 1.15.
Qualifying.
Well that's our one and only qualifying session done. Not very happy really. Made some suspension changes but still not right. Ultimately got a problem with the tyre. Race is at 3pm.

First practice done.
We are sharing an awning and sharing the love with Steve and Sarah Jordan. I think Steve sees it more as an excuse for us to use all his stuff though! Back to practice - in three parts due to oil on track. Thruxton is still Thruxton, fast and difficult to set up for. Qualifying at 8.55am!
Getting ready.
Here we are at Thruxton for the third Ducati 848 Challenge event. Practice is about 4.30 so I'm just getting ready.

Trying stuff.
I have simply not ridden the bike enough with just the race event at Assen; so come to Oulton today to just do some laps and try different things.
We were on a UK Bikes Trackdays day, very well run with plenty of room in all the groups, very helpfull bunch of guys.

Spectating.
Seized on the first lap. So that gave me enough time to get back, get changed and enjoy watching the race.
Morning warm up.
Swapped the carbs over as a test as its been the right cylinder on each of the three seizures. Did six laps and a plug chop. Seems to be okay. Lea has come to help with set up to make sure. We will just have to see for the race.

Tried my bloody hardest.
They formed a special row for me being dead last on the grid. Did my best
rode through the field to cross the line first time in about 8th. Then got
up to 4th on next lap. Simmo was away at the front so I Was hunting down
Parker and Bishop looking to make 2nd place mine. And then it nipped up...
