Ride & Skid It 05th Oct 2019

Riders, Sliders & Skiders - 05th October 2019

The weather forecast for Saturdays Ride & Skid It Speedway Experience Day was for a reasonable day and it wasn't wrong! It had rained on the Friday and possibly even over night but the track didn't appear too bad and there wasn't much surface water unlike the previous Saturday.


From the group photo there were 16 riders which included six ladies and at least three novice or less experienced riders. I think everyone rode really well and I think some of the experienced riders rode competitively in the final sessions.

So it was a good day for photography, nice light, no rain and some good riders; what's to moan amount. I'm sure I could think of something if I tried but it was a great day.
