The last little spurt of summer here in Norway it would seem. 25 degrees and fantastic mild evenings with twilight pastel colours. However you can just about taste the change coming in the air. Heavy rain periods more and more common. I just did a 4 day ride on the VFR in the hills and around the fjords with my kids, bloody fantastic, and the day of forecast heavy rain we were dreading ended up a few hours of light rain. I will practice this afternoon at V?ler track north of Oslo so I will give the Lav a run and do some on the CBR600 to remind me what it feels like. There is a race meeting there next weekend but I have not entered. The class mix is not where I want to be racing, they have my pre ?79 up to 1200, and pre ?73 750, mixed in with beginners and one day licence holders on modern machinery in the same race. Having some bloke on his new R1M, RSV4sps or whatever, fresh out of the licence course in the same race stopping me in my corners is not an enticing prospect. I often practice with that mix, but to be racing with them all wound up is not for me. Karlskoga in Sweden is also happening but we aren?t supposed to go to Sweden, and have quarantine if we do, so there will be thin fields in the races. Strange times and they will become normal I fear.
