Well the big day dawned, i looked out me window to see wet roads!! My race prep consisted of me polishing the address to within an inch of its life! the day before, sod it we hit the road to severn view services, arrived at exactly the same time as nut! We went in and he got me an overpriced hot drink, we then went out and topped up our tanks(ady don't look at the price! ) luckily only needed 2.5 litres. Nut was worried about running out of fuel so it became tactical! We headed out with nut following into a strong headwind, my plan was to go out not flat out but come back full blat helped by strong tailwind. At times even with throttle wide open and me hid behind the screen the wind has us down to 50mph a few times, struggling to do much more than 60 at others. Made it to junc 30 some 27 miles from our start point/ here i thought i'll try and lose nut, shot out in between the cars and flew around the roundabout and back down onto the m4 over 70mph showing on the clock helped by downhill stretch and tail wind.I only managed several miles and nut flew past/game on , throttle pinned all i could do was keep him in sight in the distance...nut was prob about 60/90 secs in front when we got back to the services. topped back up with fuel WOW my address( usually 140+ on my commute) down to 93mpg!! and nuts 83mpg which i thought good plus his bike a touch quicker than mine! I got the drinks in and we had some pics up at the view point.....next challenger????? Ps still recovering from the fuel prices we paid..
