Just back from Cartagena with WeeFrenchie and John.
Went with Tracksense and cannot recommend them enough.
Really well organised and a great bunch of people on the trip.
The bikes are transported in cradles which means they dont get damaged and there is room for all your kit including spare tyres.
The weather was incredible and we stayed half board in a lovely spa hotel with a pool and close to the beach. We didnt actually have much time to use the facilities and were too hungover yesterday to take advantage of having the extra day out there!
After multiple spread out trackdays (half being wet), my riding has finally improved.
It really makes the difference having 3 dry and sunny days on a warm track.
Also there were only 2 groups, meaning we had 7 x 30 minute sessions each day.
WeeFrenchie and I went in the faster group and whislt I was one of the, if not the, slowest in the group, it meant I progressed a lot.
After a frustrating day 2, I was given some advice that has resulted in a big improvement in corner speed.
A guy from a different garage rode behind me for a few laps on the final morning and gave me some advice. He said that I could commit to the corner at a higher speed which would prevent me needing some throttle mid-corner. Sounds obvious but it hadnt occurred to me. He said I should ride slower on the approach to corners so that I didnt get spooked and end up braking and then once I was happy with taking the corners quicker, I could work on other things ie take things step by step.
I am so pleased because within 2 sessions, I had taken 8 seconds off my laptimes and felt less scared than when it was all acceleration and braking.
I feel like something has finally clicked and cant wait to do my next track day!
