I’m not but I hope Michael Douglas does well this year.

BTW, the Between The Hedges series on YouTube is great. I’ve only just come across it but if you haven’t seen it yet, go and take a look.

Isn't he a bit old to be riding now? :)

I'm off in the morning, can't wait.

Michael Dunlop has done amazingly well, to within one place of Joey.

Not taking anything away from Hickman, who won even more this year.

Got back at some ungodly hour this morning (So missed the last race).

Was lots of fun. Three of us went in a sidecar outfit for a laugh. It actually worked out well as we had luggage space too. However, the thing is hilarious to ride, it just doesn't want to turn left or right! If we were doing it again we'd certainly sort out the front leading wheel conversion thing.

Racing is mega. The rush you get when they whizz past you is amazing, how they do those speeds is just insane! What's really nice too is that you walk around the paddock and see the riders and some other popular people and everyone will talk to you, very little pretentiousness. Everyone is happy to chat.

Off to bed now, shattered!

Did you take the family Daniel?
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.
