Bikes, Bikes, Bikes...

Just in from the Ulster Grand Prix - the best race in Ireland!!! The weather all week has been awful, but thankfully we got through most of race day (lost two races), and most importantly, noone was hurt all weekend (apart from some pride!). The photos have turned out awesomely - one in particular is the talk of the paddock - Guy Martin went up the inside of Ian Hutchinson, and Hutchy was none too happy - said Guy was too tight... But my photo sort of proved him wrong!

I'll get a selection uploaded soon.

In other news, just worked out the details this weekend of my latest adventure - the Bol d'Or 24 hour endurance race at Magny Cours next month!!! I'm so excited about the whole prospect of motorbike racing at night! Endurance racing is something I've been planning to tick off my to-do list for a long time, so well pleased. And of course get to cheer for my mates Steve Plater (he's gonna win the title!) and Stephen Thompson (who's making his endurance debut).

i'd be lying if i said i wasn't jealous of this....

shooting and watching the ulster GP. have been reading about Martin particularly. and of course, McGuinness's new record. the man's a machine!

the bol d'or will be special too. you've got to have a play with light trails through some of the night racing!

Mac's lap was something else! I dunno how he does it... Guy was the man of the meeting - he had Hutchy in the last race, too, until it was red-flagged. He's a good fella as well! Keep an eye on next month's Performance Bike mag - him and our travelling doctor, John, are off tonight to the Nürburgring to test bikes with them!

I haven't really got a clue for the Bol lol - think it'll be trial and error!

I think I'd get too confused at a 24hr race; I struggle to keep up at BSB ;)
