Alan and Phil were given Sunday very late on by the circuit, so very kindly offered us 10 free places to get our new team up and running. Susie and I were frantically trying to fill it, but at such short notice and Pembrey being the other end of the world, we managed 8 peeps. Pembrey is a fantastic circuit, it’s a shame I hadn’t discovered it before a few months ago as it’s just down the M4 for me. I had visions of it being a bit rough when in fact it’s quite the opposite, the surface is A1 and the mix of corners makes it a really technical track, where you can only improve with time spent on it. I love it there.

Tazzie and I were already booked on for the Saturday so we arrived Friday night, set up the Bikegirl marquee and got an early night.

Saturday was not a Bikegirl day but there were some ladies there who we hopefully managed to conscript, I mean get interested in Bikegirl. A massive well done to the RSVR girls for showing loads of improvement from the start of the day, especially Wendy, you did great.

Sunday was an early start, signing everyone on and making sure we were ready and all feeling OK. We went out for the 1st session and everyone was just finding their way around. It had already started to dry up and I think all came in from their 1st session smiling even though conditions weren’t the best.

As the day went on the weather dried out and everyone really started to get into to it. We managed to get 6 sessions in although I think most were pooped by the end of the 5th. I spend every session with someone and could see everyone improving no end throughout the day. Again we managed to convince a couple of ladies who didn’t book through us to join us in the novice group so we could all ride together, so that made 10 in all.

Well done to everyone. There were definitely some naturally talented riders there, you know who you are, who need to come racing with us next year.

Following my participation of the track day on Saturday 28th August 2004 at Pembury, I would like to formally thank yourself, the Instructors and Marshalls, for the support and guidance that was shown to me. As a very lacking in confidence novice I initially felt that a track day was a little ambitious for me, however following your phenomenal support I got back out on track and finished the day. Who else would allow me sole access to a racing circuit... sensational, amazing etc etc etc Giant THANK YOU'S all round.

Thanks to you guys (and ladies ( see www.bikegirl.co.uk ) ) I now feel 100% more confident on the road and have even managed to surprise one of the Mille boys a time or two.

I can't wait for the next one, but thanks to you all I won't be so nervous.

All the very best to you and long may these days continue. You can rest assurred that whenever possible I will fully promote Phil Bevan Track days, a letter of recommendation has also been sent to MCN, fingers crossed they publish it.

Kindest regards, Wendy
