..Off to the Races..

An early morning start from home, the weather was cold but promising for a good day at the races at the Prescott Bike Festival, just north of Cheltenham - the ride up to Salisbury saw a temperature of just -3 degrees. 

By the time I arrive at Prescott the weather was clear and about +9.   It was my first time at the Prescott Motorcycle hill climb festival and the organisation was extremely good.  Lots of parking, many trade stands, and load of bikes.    The first stop was to the tea stand for a hot drink and warm up a little.   I sat on the hill and watch the first set of bike make their way up the hill - some fast and some not so fast.....   Then lunch in the Bugati Owners Clubhouse - very nice (and warm)...  More wandering around looking at the bikes and stands and then more racing up the hill.

Met a chap who was the George Suttleworth (Speed Demon) look-a-like (aka George Formby) - I will leave you to look it up on the www.  Photo below

 
 
All in all a good day out and I will certainly go again next year.
