I know, but today is the first day that it's rained! It's been hot and sunny all week. Due to dry up very soon though. 'all/right'

They just showed the course from the riders perspective!
On a sunny day.
Very cool!
8.9 mile lap.
Roundabout barriers will take a knee off!

Yip, very tight and fast course and not for the faint hearted! Lot's of riders use this as a warm up for the Isle of Man TT. One good thing about the delay is, you guys across the pond will get to see the racing. It's on again tomorrow. :cheers:

Yeah, Seeley is a master at the NW200. But the way some of those bikes were weaving on max speed must have been scary. And I agree with Lee Johnston, you need big set of stones to ride in those conditions!

Yeah, tell it like it is. Mind you, he was knocked off his bike on the first race this morning, so it's good he did well in that race. :clap2:

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pause for awhile.
Had a pretty good storm last night and there's debris on the roof that requires removal.

I'll check back later.
Cheers,
Steve
