It is such a gorgeous day here at Cadwell that both me and my coaching client have had to crack out the sunglasses before 10am. Looks like it's going to be a scorcher!

First race.
Finished 4th, I'm in a grump and not talking to anyone so I'll put up the full race sketch later.
Qualifying session.
Just wanted to do an out lap then bank a decent lap and then do a practice start. Much to my surprise I'm on pole with a 2.16-518. With Robbie and Kenny next. Today's race at 5.25pm.
Morning warm up.
Just having a chin wag about the session. All agreed the track is abrasive yet with no grip somehow. I've changed to an Ohlins after running Ktech all season. Not sure which to go with.

Leisurely day.
Steve and Harry came down yesterday with the bike and set up the awnings. We ambled down and stopped off to borrow 'Stan' Smiths caravan on the way. Out on track first thing at 9am.

Lovely Autumn day.
Not been to Cadwell for a week or so. Was worried that the weather might be a bit dodgy but I have been surprised; me and my coaching client are having a great day in lovely Autumn sunshine.

A grand day out.
Albeit a tad gusty, Alan, Steve and me have had a fun day out at Silvestone. Plenty of other 848 competitors here today as well having a run round before the BSB event in a couple of weeks.

That's lucky then!
My coaching client today wants to build his confidence for racing in the wet and difficult weather - so here we are at Snetterton where luckily for him it has been pouring with rain and blowing a gale...

Leon is champion!
Managed to push Leon a bit in the second race. Just kicked and crunched my way through the gear box. Almost thought about having a go at him on the dash to the finish but hey I was happy to cross the line 0.336 second behind him and be the first to congratulate him as the 2011 Challenge Champion.
well where there was one...
...there was bound to be several more. After Cadwell and losing the race with a false neutral I should have realised that it could be indicative of a problem. Just run the race with a whole box full of neutrals; finished 3rd - but not what I really wanted.
Busy day.
Done the 10mins practice. Done the 10mins qualifying; there was a real mix of 43 different bikes on track. Very difficult to get a clear lap. 3rd behind Leon and Robbie. Lots of interesting people here; Gary Smith is showing me the progress of his mono. First race is about 12ish.
