Well, returned from the TT. Only 1 really soggy day but thats the TT. Good to meet up with Pete Madplankton at the end of the week, shame the mountain was shut (again) for a run over and to pick his local knowledge. Picci below for Oily  Looking forward to next year with 2bims and Vort. I think mine was the only visiting Bim this year

Spent two days avoiding twitter, facebook, this page, etc to avoid getting the Senior result before seeing it on TV - Doh!
Looks a fun week guys, and bikes looking good at the Creg.

I only got 2 runs over the mountain the whole TT (every attempt the road was closed because of lemmings ) !
Still at least it's there on the doorstep...
Good to meet up with you Nige! Hopefully next time will have a bit more time to have a proper run...

mate of mine who lives there was saying that usually you can get a seat in the grandstand even on race week. This year it was booked up weeks before. 11000 bikes I think he said this year. they reckon the 'closer to the edge' film has really pushed the tourism this year

yes it was full. However it didnt seem to be as busy as the last couple of years as more came for practice week from what I saw. They also open ferry booking at start of practice week and the grandstand seats which I believe are booked up for next year already! Ferries were also full for a lot of sailings. Luckily mine, Vort28, 2bims and Vorts bro are safely booked with accomodation 49 weeks to go!!!
ps digs are at top of hill for Vort to bumpstart his Bims!!!! |
