Friday was well worth the effort. We decided against a trip through the Pyrenees for a whole afternoon private (almost) practice day. Gave us a real good look at the track with the added bonus of no queuing at the loos. The only thing that went wrong was the video camera...that dammed RD500 vibes too much before and after the powerband. Cost us 35 Euros. Bloody fantastic value. Glorious weather...a bit too hot really.

 

Time for a bit of Grub...excellent. This place was just around the corner from the track and you could go there without your helmet in just a T shirt.....too hot really

Some Very nice people (Including Vincent). Vincent was the only other guy on a 350 F2 and had come on the train from Paris. Took the rail company ages to clean it up.

Over the Weekend we were split into 3 groups...each group had 8 sessions...plenty really. The French do these things right...very laid back with few regulations. Everyone abides by the rules because there aren't any.

Most of the bikes at the 'do' are in this line up...sun was a bit bright .. a bit too hot really.
