Fort William SDA Round 2

What a weekend. Starts on Friday night with Lewis Cub and Myself driving up in the pissing rain. Boredom hits and we crack out the air band! I'm on drums, cubs got lead guitar and lewis was meant to be vocals but well he feel asleep!

Saturday came and it was time for practice. Weather wet. But its Fort William which means its always gonna be awesome! The track basically consisted of the 2007 worlds course till you got to the woods where straight line was cut through to bring you on the next left berm into the lower flat woods. Instead of the big jump onto the motorway it was the rock garden line.

Practice went well for everyone apart from we all managed to break our bikes somehow but thats the way it goes. However we got our brand new race tops!

By the time Sunday came the weather decided to be nice and stay dry enough although the mud was still deep in the woods which made for some fun moments like when i flipped the bars and landed on my head and all i can hear is Lewis taking the piss.

We all put in at least one solid race run (being the SDA you get two race runs) and ended the weekend happy with our trip up to Fort Bill, we all love the place and love racing there just something about it thats always makes it a good event. Even when you get to the finish and your arms are killing you all you can do is grin like a pig in...

Probably our favorite or if not a close second. From begin to end its nothing but pinned.
