I went to mildenhall yesterday and rode for the first time in a good few months. It went fairly well and overall  i was very pleased . I have found a few little bits that need changing in the way of setup etc, but am confident i can go alot quicker when im back in the groove. My first ride was just getting some laps in and used to the bike again, whilst my second ride i pushed a little harder and claimed 3rd place.  Hopefully the changes i make will make the bike easier to ride and i can really go for it.
Will be making a trip down south saturday night to Eastbourne and may have a spin out yet depending if i can sort out my second bike.  I want to keep my no. 1 bike for mildenhall as im pushing to improve there and get a squad place.
Hope to see u all around on sat .

As far as everything else i plan to go see Arena next weds and then East,b at the weekend so i guess i’ll see u there!

Heat 1: I missed the gate but on the run in into the first corner i moved inside and paul evans on the inside seemd to get too much grip and went across me, i locked up and nipped up the inside coming out of bend 2 to lead and was never troubled from there.

Heat 2: Once again missing the gate i went wide going into the first corner allowing a rider up my inside but entering turn 3 i went wide and blasted around the outside of him once again to take the flag.

Heat 3: Finally i made the start but this time it was called back after a first bend fall for one of the other guys. Second time out i made the start again and led from pillar to post.

Heat 4: This ride coming after a track grade and water was not ideal but after making the start i was cautious going into turn 1 and allowed Lee coley up the inside. I was struggling for grip on the inside and decided to run wide and going into turn 3 for the second time i managed to blast right around him and clear into the lead.

Heat 5: I made not too bad a start and managed to drop across from gate 3 to lead into the 1st bend, from then on i was never realy troubled.

Final: Ii had wanted gate 4 going into the final becuase i knew there was a little bit of fresh dirt by the fence which i could use for the start. Having got gate 4 i made the most of it and going into turn 1 i was level with Jason taylor who also hadn’t dropped a point all day. Going into 3 though he seemed to grab too much grip and drifted across me so i cut back up the inside and took the lead and never looked back, although im told that there were 3 guys right on my tale.

So a very happy day in the end after my first meeting back. I will be resting for a couple of days before going to Newport on sunday for an individual meeting with STR. Many thanks must go out to my mechanics over the weekend with stewart and my grandad and even my bro helping me to get 2 bikes together. Without these people i would never of made it.
