IOM 2014 - Day 2 - Day of Rest

Sunday is a day of rest on the Isle of Man - no racing or practice. With yesterday's practice cancelled and the bikes all ready to go (well... except for a few keys...), there wasn't much to do but chill-out, watch MotoGP, go for a few laps in the van, visit friends in the paddock, go for a run and eat an awesome home cooked roast dinner - thanks for Brett and Jules (my island landlords) for the dinner :-)

A relaxing day... but kinda like the calm before the storm. I want to just get out there an go fast - I'm a bit impatient and hate waiting.

Our landlords are also refurbishing their garage... so luckily we don't have to work on the bikes. They've been outside in the weather (with covers on) and all the tools and bits are all packed out the way. I hope they finish it tomorrow... could do with setting it all up for Tuesday when we'll be working on the bikes.

The organizers (MMCC) have mixed the practice schedule around and tomorrow we only have all three bikes in the same session. That sucks. At best we'll be able to get two laps in. We're aiming for a lap on both the Ducati and Aprilia... but around here, you never know. Also, Alan Birtwhistle should be here in the morning with the tooxbox and keys :-) Looking forward to that!
