Had a great time at the creek over the long weekend, got to ride both Saturday and Monday. Was green group on Saturday, but went to red on Monday after having to many instances of coming across people parked at the entrance to corners.
Apologies to anyone I held up on Monday! I had Metzler racetec slicks on the bike Saturday, but they were done by the end, rear didn't pass scrutinering on Monday. Luckily I had already put some new tyres on spare rims Saturday arvo. Unfortunately they were Pirelli superbike pros. My observation of those tyres, well, the front was great! Never had an issue. Set at 31psi after the first session and it felt really nice. The rear, well, it's not that it was bad and trying to spit me off, but ended up running it at 26psi hot and compared to the worn Metzzeler racetes slick, K2 compound, it just never gave me the drive I was enjoying on the saturday. It squirmed around a bit and got a little slidey, but kind of... Pulse-ey slidey? If that makes sense. Couldn't wind it on any harder, and just couldn't get the drive I wanted!
Anyway, had a great time, met Rob out there, nice to meet you! Full curcuit is a LOT more tiring to ride, and holy shit, some of the quick guys are amazing to be passed by.
Got a nice pic by Ray Oxford, really stoked with my progression since December, can't wait for the next one, May 9th, GP circuit!
