Well hello all. Some of you may remember me (was rsvr robbo), some may not as not been on here since the site crashed. Tried to register twice over the last few months but wouldn't let me for some reason? Third time lucky eh!
Anyway, I'm back & ready to rock on roll so thought i'd put the feelers out for this years riders4research event which is something I've run over the last few years on my own in my spare time for fun raising money for Cancer Research UK :biggrin
This years event means a lot to me personaly as yes I suffered with cancer 5 years ago at the age of 24 (just find it nice to give something back to those that helped me in the hope it may help others now & in the future) but I lost my mum on 30th November 2010 at the age of 57 after a 7 year battle with the disease.
Last year’s successful riders4research ride-out event was to watch the BSB at Silverstone. Was a great day (couple of pics at the end of the thread) so considered doing something similar this year to watch the WSB at Silverstone, but the interest does not seem their this time. So, I’ve gone back to the drawing board & my original plan that I wanted to do last year of running a track day in which all profits will go to Cancer Research UK.
I promoted a track day get together for Ape riders at Cadwell Park 2 weeks ago on a few forums just for kicks (not here as couldn't god damn register). Went down well & over the months leading up to the event I got to know the guys behind Easy Track (the organisers) pretty well so they are now behind me on this 100% & are willing to help out big time. Date, cost & venue TBC but from our recent talks a
Friday during July / August at the Snetterton 300 for £90-£100 is on the cards
Judging by the turn out to the recent Cadwell Park shindig, there are a few riders out their keen to do track days, we should have the weather on our side & being it’s all for a good cause I’m sure peeps would be eager to put themselves out for it :dunno
From the comments made on the Cadwell Park threads, I know there are some track day virgins keen to pop their cherry but struggling to commit / cross that threshold. Track days suit all levels of rider in a safe environment. You can push yourself & your bike just that little bit more than on the road & I guarantee you’ll be smiling like a Cheshire cat after lap 1. I’m *****, only done a couple but keep wanting more.
The guys at Easy Track are in contact with some of the big names in the superbike world & will be actively speaking to them with the intention of getting them to join / ride with us for the day!
I’m hoping we can make this event work & it would be good to have a few guys head up the day before to make a night of it. Remember, it’s all for Charity, all about fun & meeting like minded people doing something we all enjoy so watch this space.
Cheers, Robbo
