Very short video, for soon to be obvious reasons, below.
Lily and I went to see the BSB today. Got utterly soaked and wind-blown despite having a sturdy brolly. We managed to hang on for the first Superbike race and then decided 5 hrs in the rain was enough. It was worth it though. It’s not possible to get it across in the video below really, but the sound of the Superbikes isn’t far off the ear-splitting early 2000s F1 cars ( I was lucky enough to go to testing at silverstone around then and it was painful but awesome to listen to). The Ducatis, I could literally feel in my gut when they went past.
In short, a good but wet day, and Lily’s first real big national event. She was a proper trooper and patient as all hell with me as I desperately hung on for the BSB race to start. Also, she was magnificent, in that I witnessed her eat a full boxed pizza in actual gale force winds. That was as entertaining as watching Scott Redding trying to stay on the dry line. :)
