It's back this year as a two-day event.  Still no camping on site.

Alas, I'll be doing Wacky Races at Darley Moor that weekend.

I think that's the weekend that my brother and his wife will be organising a big Family Bash.

Most likely, ditto.

I'm hoping to be there for the Cyclists' Car Boot Sale on the Sunday.  I'm thinking of thinning the herd and having a clear out of the shed.

I rode over there today, on the Windcheetah.

With no camping on site, and no tradestands, it is very much a grasstrack orientated event, all be it with some novelty races such as the 'Stop with the back wheel in  hula-hoop World championship' (Yes the winner gets World's stripey jersey, but only if they sing a verse of 'I can sing a rainbow').

Saw Tomsk and another  ACME. Max Pendleton came over to have a chat.

I rode over to Beck Row - the next village, to hve  lunchtime pint at the pub that Will Cook now runs. Will used to lead rides from Mildenhall and regular recumbent rides that  few Yacfers have riden,.  He came out to the garden for a long catchup chat with me.

I won't be there tomorrow as I plan to do a local charidee ride.
