Re: 16th May and 13th June at Bedford
I really like it, it’s a relatively easy place to learn to ride on track but still exciting.

Get an instructor to show you round. It's a bit of an oddball circuit and some bends have no obvious lines.
I enjoyed instructing there.

Re: 16th May and 13th June at Bedford
I’ve had a couple of instructors show me round and I’m getting better around there very slowly. This is the last time out and always happy to receive any pointers…

Yeah but they need little flashing lights, along with a beeping noise when you push it backwards

Re: 16th May and 13th June at Bedford
Your lines were steady and you hit most apexes.
Just need to up the general pace and try braking a bit later.
Re: 16th May and 13th June at Bedford
I know I'm not gonna be breaking any lap records but neither am I planning to be going backwards, pushed or otherwise
I have taken @Yorick 's advice and booked a session with an instructor

All piss taking aside, I can't wait to hear how you get on with it on track.

If I were him I think I'd take the blue badge off it for the TD, to try and blend in and look like a normal(ish) person
And me- I'm now also booked , and another Bedford first timer- it's turning into quite a mini-RTTL outing

Trying to blend in while on a Niken, lol.... that's like wearing an Everton scarf in the Kop and trying to blend in.

Re: 16th May and 13th June at Bedford
Don't think I've seen one in the wild yet, do they only come out in the dark.

You're not alone there, Paul - I haven't seen another one on the road yet, either.Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 6:19 pm Don't think I've seen one in the wild yet, do they only come out in the dark.
It has been out in the dark recently, as I rode it into work for a couple of shifts, but more likely to be seen in daylight.

Re: 16th May and 13th June at Bedford
Just managed to get a weekday off work so have hopefully got myself and my Son booked into novice for this one. (Only places left)
Will be a good opportunity to follow him around and try and get some footage on my new ‘go pro’ type camera.
Also be great to catch up with the Pembrey crew who I assume will be in inters?
And to meet up with @dern as we’re only down the road from you near Didcot.
