Lucky surprise at the 'ring
Discussion
My son and I decided to go to the Spa classic with a friend then head over to the ring seeing as its a bank holiday and half term.
We figured we could take our bikes with us and go for a couple of rides around both areas. So I had to work out to carry a pair of bikes on a Z4.
Then... we got to the 'ring tonight and our Airbnb host asked if we were riding the bikes on the track. 'Oh we'd love to but we were just thinking we would ride around the outside tomorrow'.
Then he showed us that the track was open tonight from 7pm for a cycling event!
So we strapped a couple of head torches to the bikes (german rule even though there was still blazing sunshine) and headed off for a lap on a pair of gravel bikes!
The scariest moment of my life was following my 12 year old down foxhole doing silly speed on knobblies but he's been racing for 10 years and knows what he's doing and he was so happy afterwards.
