Was at Brands on Saturday for my first trackday instructing for Focused Events.The weather was ok but cold until we got within a few miles of the circuit and there was sleet coming down which soon turned to snow which was settling.I was optimistic as it was still early.The fun started as soon as we entered the circuit.The gate marshall was laughing at the conditions probably thinking we were mad to try riding there.To get to the infield paddock we had to cross the track at Paddock Hill Bend.I gave the van a bit of welly to see how slippery the track was.The van went sideways for 30metres.I don`t think anyone saw me,hehe.Made it to the garages in one piece to see no-one leather clad but thermal clad and wooly hats,but getting their bikes ready in anticipation of improving conditions.
The Brands staff were trying to clear the circuit as best they could.Unfortunately the the fastest thing out there was the tractor doing 6 minute laps.At 10:30 it was declared unsafe to ride and the event was cancelled.I met a few people anyway which broke the ice(sorry about that).Looking forward to the 21 Jan when i`m back there.I see djjasoncarrol and the ever evasive chuffster will be there too.Look forward to seeing you then and anyone else that can make it. Enjoy the attached photos.
