Hog Hill, 10th July

Track on the lower section was much more interesting than I thought it would be and quite fast, and it answers those put off by the hill. With neither Adrian or Andrew there, who is going to tell Mike B that, if he'd turned up, he would have taken partially-faired points almost uncontested?! 

Shame we didn't have a bigger turnout - maybe we should start calling it Redbridge (as the signposts do) to put less emphasis on the 'hill' bit! It does have the advantage over most of our other venues of offering a wide variety of possible track layouts.

The streamliners were using mad angles of lean round the tighter bends - awesome!

Thanks to Anne, Derrick and gNick for a great day out.

Sounds like Twed may have found the way to make Hog Hill enjoyable!

One more vote of thanks for Twed and his inspirational use of the track.

Great racing, one of my favourite tracks hope we keep racing there bottom circuit proved a great success. Great weather, great organising team, speedy recovery Neil and don't forget those elbow pads next time! that bike has a habit of sliding at HH. Our racing a bit safer that the tour de France at the weekend!

Neil had elbows pads with him just not on his elbows. Always worth reminding everyone on the start line for those that want to use them but have forgotten to put them on. I rode up to the start without a helmet on and had to ride back up the hill to get it!
