Bike Safe Course and Track time at Castle Combe - June 4th for £25 anyone?

Rally · 08-05-2011, 11:04 AM

I have just dicovered that there is a Bikesafe course being run by the Avon & Somerset Police force at Castle Combe race curcuit on June 4th.

There are other attractions during the day including stunt riders, bike displays, bike shop stands etc. Entry is free for spectators as well.

You will need to wear a 1 piece leather or zip together 2 piece for the event and have a bike under the 105Db noise limit.

For full details, check it out on;

The Wilshire police ones are free, but of course you don't get 15 mins of track time.

Wilts police are running the usual series of Bikesafe courses this year again - and as Stafford says, free of charge.

I was talking to Colin Reeves (Wilts co-ordinator) last week and he says they are well subscribed this year so you'll need to put your name down on the waiting list - well worth it.

I realise Wilts ones are free as they always have been, but this one has the attraction of Castle Combe track to play on and also bike displays, stunt riders etc to watch and enjoy as well. I thought it was well worth the money myself and would love it if a few of us did it together.

Agreed, good find and sounds a great day out, just let us know who to pay and when if it's a go ahead.

Bex,
If you click on the second link (Avon and Somerset Police) in post No 1 of this thread, you can download a PDF file from the bottom right hand corner and send it in with your cheque. I will however give them a call tomorrow to see how many places they have left and then post on here advising the most available time slot. That should then hopefully mean we can all get on together.

Would we be better for morning or afternoon, if there is still a choice?

Albie, Bring the moped for a run out........

I believe on the track you will be with the track instructors as they say you will get experienced track advise.

Sounds like a plan. Don't mind if it's am or pm, I guess see what the availability is!

I've got a party the night before, and a wedding later in the day on the Saturday, but I'll try and make it along at some point as it's only 20 minutes from home.
