I was planning on doing a SS2000/ETE Gold at the start of August but due to an off track excursion at Brands Hatch I will have to put this back to the start of September. This should give me time to get fit and ready.

Brands started well

But didn't end too good after I missed my braking into Paddock Hill bends resulting in a trip into the gravel at nearly 100mph.

Rider and bike came away pretty lightly,mainly Concussion and a pretty beaten up back.

I am planning to be ready for 1st of september to start the ride

Was this on Wednesday morning?

I was taking my oldest for a Young Driver session at Brands that morning and was watching a bike trackday outside Hailwoods restaurant when one rider went too fast into Paddock Hill and ended up in the gravel right outside Hailwoods.

Hope you get better soon.

Get well soon Mark, bikes can get fixed easily - just cash as I guess your insurance wont cover the bike?

Later

Dave

Good effort Mark.............

Like they say "If at first"

Hope the back repairs well. Have a good SS2000 and I hope the road works are kind to you 

I need to sort some time out for a LD ride soon, getting a bit rusty
