Cartegena 25th - 27th March 2022- Who's up for it?

Post by Tricky »

I've got serious itchy feet again at the moment, and the soggy filthy roads hav got me looking at Euro TDs, prompted by my Lydden mate booking this one
https://eurotracks.nolimitstrackdays.co ... &aff=&src=

It's a bargain IMO - 3 days on track , 3 nights hotel and UK bike transport comes in at less than the cost of 2 soggy days at Silverstone, and to cap it all, flights from Luton are currently only £23....

I know Covid restrictions could do a Portimao on this one too, but I'm taking the view that's not too likely

I've never been to Cartegena but fancy giving it a go- anyone else here up for it ?

Apparently there's some holibob days that have to be used up in Feb, rather than March or she'd have been up for it (if I had a track bike).

Well, with the current covid management strategy continuing, I can see another year of cancellations. I wouldn't hold my breath on the TT happening. Big decisions to be made. 🤔

I thought fuck it why not yesterday and booked, so I need to get those new boots bought now 8-)

We're going to make a little Spanish holiday of it, not fly back immediately after the TD and travel up (or down, not decided yet) the coast a bit

I love it. Been there twice and been happy smiley both times!! (I did lie the 10r in the gravel at the end of the straight the first time :roll: no real damage!)

Would love to go back some time :D :D
