Aberdare Bike Race Weekend..

This weekend I attended Aberdare Bike Race and it was great! This is the first time I’ve gone to spectate at a bike race and to be so close to seeing road racing. I follow bike racing on the usual television and online streams, but witnessing it in person is something else! As you’ve all guessed by now I’m a little bit obsessed with any kind of motorsport.
    I have so much respect for bike racers as that is just another level of skill and fearlessness. I appreciate auto racers, but I personally feel you can push harder in a enclosed car knowing you are surrounded by a roll cage, being hugged by a bucket seat while strapped in with a harness. I feel safer to push harder because of all the extra safety features. But bike racers… just wow! You guys are holding on, putting all your trust into two tires gripping the tarmac relying on your skills, and trusting the bike to go and do what you need it to when required! There’s no feeling of safety around you, it’s all down to you, one slight miscalculation and it could be all over! That’s just my own personal opinion and I respects all disciplines within motorsport. I only have very limited experience with monkey bikes, pit bikes and quads and that was many, many years ago (perks of growing up with access to fields and vehicles as a child) 
I can’t wait until next year! See you all there!
