Had a day at home to unpack after BSB and then back here to Cadwell with a coaching client. Reasonable weather so far, just hoping it keeps fine for him.

Bloody 2nd again.
I know getting on the box is always a welcome achievement but after leading the entire race with just 3 laps to go, a false neutral in to Mansfield meant that the top step still eludes me.

Morning warm up.
Early morning! Track was nasty cold and greasy with scattered damp patches under the trees. No chance to prove anything other than my gearing change works a bit better at Charlies one. Race at 16.50.

Should be a good one.
Qualifying is close so it should be a good race tomorrow at 16.50. Don't forget there is online timing of the race available at www.tsl-timing.com
Not again!
It was supposed to be fine now for the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately intermittant thunderstorms and downpours seem the order of the day. Just did 3 laps of wet practice. Qualifying is at 18.05. I wonder if it will be wet or dry or a delightfull mix of both!
Up and running.
Despite endless rain yesterday we got set up while Steve and Sarah were stuck in bank holiday traffic taking 6 hours to get here. Luckily they brought their newly customised scoot for paddock transport.

Weather turnaround.
Beautiful day here at Cadwell today. Another client who is racing the Hottrax endurance this weekend; however as it's a general testing day I'm not surprised to see a few of my 848 competitors here as well.

Rain spoils play.
Never mind my client today here at Cadwell wants to try a couple of wet sessions as he's racing here at the weekend. Changing wheels gives me the chance to show off my 'factory' hand crafted caliper holders.

Frank's younger brother?
On track today with my coaching client on an 08 R1; thought the weather was going to be dodgy at first but after the early morning damp has dried up it's been great!

Waiting for the sun.
At Mallory waiting for the track to dry. Going to have a run round on this bike to check out and give feedback on the new front end that's been fitted before it goes to the Manx for 'B'Ryan Farquhar to race.

The sun is out...
...but unfortunately there's no escaping that it's rained all morning here at Cadwell. My client's running with a belly pan of water so there's really only one cure for that!

2nd again!
Leon got a great start and I lost ground not being able to get passed Robbie. And when I eventually did there was no way I could catch Leon.

Blistering race.
Had an absolute cracking race with Kenny. Led for a lot of it then he got in front towards the end and despite my hero lunge into Surtees on the last lap I got the lead but then ran wide. It was great. Leon was 3rd.
Qualifying done.
Did my best. On a two tyre per event rule I have to race on this rubber this afternoon at 15.20 so I hope they'll be okay after this session.
Free practice.
Only did 6 laps as I found a slippy bit of track out of Druid's and down I went. Hadn't even settled in to a practice pace and it was all over, Luckily doesn't look like too much damage. Qualifying is 11.45.
Here at Brands.
Had a lovely track walk last night with Nicky Wilson and Steve Jordan. Harry and Steve were scavenging for bits and pieces.
