Safely in a pub near Donington, it was nice until Telford and any showerproofness my clothes had stopped near Burton, Hope it clears up for tomorrow.
600 miles done, about 300 to go :-D Big thanks to Alan C for organising, Andy and Mrs_C for route planning, J.P & UKsurfer for leading rideouts, Char for t-shirt orders and bex for the design. Plus anyone I've missed. and of course everyone who showed up to make it a great weekend... pics to follow... |

As newbies to the Weekender - just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making us welcome. Neil and I loved every minute of it - some awesome roads and great banter. Can't wait for the next one :-).

Woo Hoo! I'm more chuffed than the Chief Chuffer at the Chuffing works in North Chuffington.
This is very special and means such a lot to me... Thanks for voting for the old girl. (The oldest Monster there I think?) Here's a picture of her at least a year ago, but all that's changed is a tricolour reflector, some MVS chain adjuster plates and a polished alloy open clutch cover... I'll get some up to date pics when I've finished cleaning her again... Still chuffed though..

Thanks to all for making a superb time, the blast on Sunday is memorable.
So good to meet new (to me) people and look forward to the same next year 👍 🍻 |

UKMOC Weekender is ALWAYS fun. Those that don't come and join us are missing out, especially on the lovely roads in Wales.
Thanks to all the organisers and helpers along the way.

Looks like a great time had by all. I'm off on a long weekend to Wales on Friday, does anyone have the gpx. files from the Weekender that I could get a look at for some route ideas? Pretty please!

Bloody brilliant, weather held all day!
50 bikes per session which wasn't too crowded at a track the size of Donington GP, 5 sessions of between 20 and 35 minutes, enough track time for my level of fitness, my legs really ache today. Breakfast and lunch included, with talks from CEOs of Ducati UK and Donington Park, Niall Mackenzie and Glenn Irwin at lunchtime. Redgate/Hollywood has been resurfaced, so the nasty overbanding has gone. The pace was slower and less 'banzai' than most trackdays, Ducatisti taking care of their exotic toys I guess? Very few incidents with on track (only one or two single bike offs I'm aware of) marshalling and instruction from CSS. I was put in the novices but got moved up to inters after the first session, still probably in the fastest few bikes in the group. Personal highlight: Passing that Desmosedici RR several times :-D Last edited by slob; 31-05-2017 at 10:49 AM.. Reason: pic added |
