| In
an attemt to ride all the tracks in the UK before I get too old,
I took myself off to Anglesey to ride the International gp circuit.I
was lucky enough to be one of the first riders to ride the track
on the first motorcycle track day since the track was refurbished.
In the whole of Wales, Anglesey was the only place that seemed to
have sun on the very day we rode the track, so whilst stories of
flooding could be heard on the news in other parts of the country,
we had a glorious day with sun all the way.
The track
was awsome! 12mts wide with a virgin surface which gripped like
sh.. to a blanket you could throw the bike around with no fear of
slipping. The track, as can be seen from the map has just as many
left hand curves as right hand ones so it is one of the few circuits
where you can wear out both knee sliders for a change!
The track
is on the coast so the views are breathtaking, that is if you have
the time to look when your throwing yourself around the track at
over 100mph. It is very technical and requires a good deal of concentration
if it is to be ridden well, in fact if you take your eye off the
line for a second you could find yourself on the newly planted grass.
A great day and to be recommended if you find yourself in north
Wales at any time. Thanks to HOTTRAX for organising a great day.
My next track
days are going to be Croft and Knock Hill in August. The International
gp circuit
