As my first race of the season is at Malloy Park i thought it would be best to get as many laps at the circuit before the race to familiarise myself with lines, corners etc. The circuit was open for all bikes Wednesday afternoon so My grandad, uncle and i travelled down to get some more laps done. I was out with a range of bikes, classic, modern racers and a few like mine. Riding with these improved my lines through corners, even if they were quickr on th straights i was matching some of the bikes through corners and my lap times came down by 5 seconds from the lst time i was there. The wind played a big part of that day as 90% of the time i was riding against it but in the right conditions i feel very confident in myself that i'll be even more quicker next time i jump on my Aprilia.






1st race of season.
Hi Ben,
Spoke to your Aunty Julie yesterday . Congrats on your 1st race result mate ! It sounded like a fantastic ride . I know that race 2 didn't go to plan but as long as you're ok and you want to get back out there racing that's all that matters ! Accidents happen even to the most experienced racers so chin up mate, get the bike fixed, and I'll see you at Oulton !
Well done again Ben.
