You?ll be popping in as it?s 23c without a cloud in the sky on Wednesday. Most of May is the same.
Hope you're right, for your sake lol

Great day yesterday at Brands. Thankfully the rain stayed away till the end.
A fair few crashes but I'm beginning to push the slicks more. More tread, more feel but less grip...... Less tread, less feel but more grip.
It's the less feel bit that's taken me 3 Trackdays to gain trust in them especially on my Gen 4. Also forcing myself to relax more and only grip the handlebars lightly. I can see why a bum pad is so helpful in taking pressure of your hands/arms.

Here you go... easy to make. Me being me, I've done some research as stacking the blocks as Spike does doesn't look so professional.
Search Yoga Blocks on Amazon. Two 9" x 6" x 3" EVA Blocks for ?4.99. Perfect starting point. I suffer from Fibromyalgia so need help.
